You sir are a life saver. I just bought a boat and they all kinds of wires plugged in wrong. With your easy and clear information you saved me hours or tracing wire. I could look at the harness and it all made sense. Fixed in 5 mins. Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much. I wired my boston whaler classic 15 about 15 years ago and couldn't figure this out. Now I want to redo my switches layout and wanted to get it the right way this time, so im happy i found your video. Great job.
I’m new to this so forgive me. When you wire the anchor light I understand one wire is going to the switch, but is the other wire on the anchor light going to ground on the negative terminal?
Great video......... I see you have a signal generator like mine , mine is a GW Instek and GW made all of the other models like Lode Stare , Leader , Sencore Etc ...... Mine drifts off frequency according to my Hankock frequency counter ...... Does yours do that ? I have seen quite a few people on the internet forums with the same issue ...
Josh, I used a 7 pin switch, and got it wired perfectly, thanks to you! Only issue I have is the tiny horizontal led light in the switch stays on all the time. How do I make it go off when switch is off? Please help!!!
Going to have to think on that one for a moment. As long as the constant positive is on the center pin, it should turn off when the switch is in the center position.
@@TheWeekendAngler the switch is for my recirculating pump, and has a manual, or stay on switch and bottom is a timer or auto to run 30 secs every 5 mins. On a 7 pin, I wired the ground , and jumped pins 1-6 and 2-5. 2-5 to power other side of switch, and 1-6 because I had done that on my nav/anchor lights and just thought that’s the way to wire a 7 pin switch, lol. That might be the problem there. Heck, at this point, I’m close to lighting a match to in and giving up. Replacing 4 rocker switches, and finally got the nav/anchor lights done. If I can get this recirculating pump switch, the other 2 will be easy! Can you please help? Any suggestions??
@@TheWeekendAngler Hey Josh, figured it out. Had an input on an output pin and output on an input pin. The color codes for both wires were the same, that’s what threw me off! Please know that we wanna be tech’s appreciate you taking the time to make these videos for those of us who like to fix things ourselves! Thanks again!!!
@@ForTheAverageAmerican that's kind of what I was thinking might have been the issue. There was a constant voltage where it should be switched. I'm glad that you got it up and running!
There's a lot of other boating related videos on my channel, and I'm also getting ready to start a new project boat once it starts cooling off a little.
