I am pretty sure that one don't have shorepower.... if memory serves me right....
I was gonna say do a relay but for a simple fix I ran bigger wire and a better switch... the relay will for sure take the load off the switch.. |

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. I weekend on my boat. "Pre-cooling" on AC is a great tip. I then run the DC on "2," and it keeps the food plenty cold (food in the fridge, beverages in a cooler). Running the DC on 4 or higher would draw my battery down considerably. |
Took her out today!!

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.

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. |

He's from Toledo, might want to check with him. |
Wa lucky enough to have owned one of these back a few years ago, The boat I had was a great boat and problem free. Enjoy your new ride and have fun.
