Wiring issues with my Tracker 16

[Andrew Wortham]

I bought this boat from a friend after it had been sitting for 17 years in a garage. Didn't take much to get 25 hp motor to fun but the electrical system is a disaster. broken rotted wires. rusty connectors. My question is can I find a wiring diagram for this thing that will allow me to get it all working.

What year is the boat? If it sat for 17yrs it's at least that old and you'll be hard pressed to find diagrams. If you're finding broken/rotted wiring and rusty connectors, odds are the hardware your wiring is running to (breakers, fuse boxes, switch panels, lights, pumps, etc) are in rough condition as well and you should plan on rewiring the boat. You can find generic wiring diagrams for sample boats in Google Images to base your rewire off of.
