Make sure you get outdoor/underground rated Romex!! It is usually a grey color instead of white.

I always fill my boat tank from a five gallon gas can. The stock filler is a flip-up snap shut cap that makes it difficult to fill with a can, especially these new "safety" types. To fix that issue I bought some regular spouts from Amazon that don't have the "safety" feature. Sorry government...

And just that fast I found the problem!!! Short answer -- it was the battery cut-off that I had installed last year. It's a tighten to connect, loosen to disconnect type that goes between the battery post and cable. Got some corrosion between the two parts that make contact and was giving an...

Cleaned the connections, and found an issue with the 12 position connector. Fixed issue (helm side was a two part connector that was partially pulled apart...), and now have power on the main power wire on the helm side of connector, but still no power to accessories, switch, or instruments...

I thought about trying to clean it, and I might, but will most likely just replace the 12 position connector. Will try cleaning the switch connector, and if that does the trick every other connector I can find!!

I have power at the helm though, up to that 12 position connector, on the "battery side", but not through to the "helm side" of the connector. And power going TO the switch. Part of the problem is that there is no comprehensive wiring diagram. The one from Bennington (they sent me a 2003...

The fuse on the motor is the only one that blew. I got under the console again and started digging. There is a 12 position connector for all the console switches and gauges. I unplugged that to make sure I was getting power (fat red + and fat black ground -- obvious!). I tried back probing the...

Sort of. I have power at the connectors that come from the rear of the boat to u der the console. I have no power at any of the accessories or gauges.. no lights or start, or radio. I'm suspicious of the switch right now, possibly the neutral safety switch. I wouldn't think the NSS would stop...

No breaker that I can find. I have power under the console, and have confirmed that I have power to the switch. There are fuses in the two power lines that run up to the console. There are separate breakers for all the switches on the dash, and none are tripped. It appears that nothing is...

I just checked UPD for my 2000 2275. $237 for a tinted windshield, $227 for clear. It's a 10"x36" piece of 1/4" clear, bent on the ends with a few holes. I can get an entire 4'x8' sheet RETAIL at Home Depot for $375. It's hard to bend 1/4" thick Lexan, but I think I'll get some 3/32 (0.093")...

I took a closer look at the wiring diagrams in the top post. I see a "FASCO (30A or 50A) Breaker - Resettable". Where is this breaker supposed to be? I'm going out to check the switch and will see if I can find that breaker... if my 99 2257FS even has one...

I changed the battery to my boat last year and accidentally connected the terminals backwards. Blew a fuse on the motor, all other fuses appear to be fine. A wiring diagram for a 1999 2275FS would be really appreciated! I have checked and made sure there is power under the console in the main...
