I don't suggest working on any Chrysler products then. :) Mitsubishi should be without question. That's just the start of my list. :)

I have a 20 year old freshwater Baja with a ton of electrical gremlins. Their wiring was of minimal quality to begin with and add in normal use and typical corrosion after time and you’ll have the issues that you’re having now. I completely stripped the bilge and rigged it with new equipment, and will redo the rest of the boat this winter as well.

frankly, I have a 30 year old formula and it's a testament to the previous owners the electricals look surprisingly good. So far it's been stuff exposed to the air / atmosphere not the stuff behind panels or inside boxes.

I’ll second that Tom. It’s the same on my 88. I have made some alterations here and there and found good clean wiring throughout. I owe that to the care given by the previous owner. Some of my wiring was updated when he redid the gauge and control panels.

I will say that there is one area of concern in the wiring.... rubberized plastic harness connectors. I’ve had one fail on me from corrosion. It was a major pita to figure out too. When I build my 540s either next season or the season after, I plan to redo those pieces.

Agreed...I am glad the hydraulic steering was done before I go the boat as that looks like a pain.
Check you messages about trying to get together in Sept.
