Forget changing the wire to the switch. The switch itself is probably fried from too much amperage running thru it. To to Radio Shack and buy a DPDT momentary switch like the one in there, and then do a search on the "Technical" forum for wiring in Bosch relays to raise and lower your hatch. This takes the load off the switch and supplies much more current directly to the hatch motor. Hatch will raise and lower much faster, and no more burnt switches.
Your fridge is AC/DC - should be an AC plug hanging down near the helm. Plug that in and it should kick on. As for the DC side, you may find it wired into one of the ACC switches on the side panel, or it may be straight wired to the battery. There is a switch / temp control inside the fridge. Lose that teak swim platform and find a fiberglass platform off of a 90's era Baja Bandit or Outlaw. These are white fiberglass, bolt right on in place of the teak, and are much nicer. No more teak oil or varnish, and modernizes the looks of the boat considerably. I did this on mine, and it was one of the best mods that I did. Check local marinas and boat yards for a platform, or post a wanted ad in Swap Shop. |
