Need help with older sunsation (2003 288)
#1
Im trying to install a transom shower, which means i need power for the pump. Under the back seat there are 2 zip tied wires one black and one brown with the #11 on it.
I remembered when putting my stereo in in the cabin in the first closet behind the carpeted board's there was a roll of loose wires (9) that were all nice and neat and secured to the wall. I took the board's down again and took a test light and checked them. This is what i found:
#8 was brown and with the battery's on its hot all the time
#11 is another brown and i got no power out of it
#15 was on 2 green's and a blue, which again had nothing
* then I had a red wire with the letters LO on it, and just like #8 it was hot with battery on.
* another red with 1.5 on it and it wasn't hot.
* there was a pink and again it wasn't hot
* and a black, which again had nothing
I checked all these wires with battery's on, battery's off and with different switches on, as well as turning the ignition on, but not starting the boat.. The #8 and red with "LO" on it stayed hot no matter what, as long as battery's are on, turn them off and they loose juice.
Could someone please tell me whats up with these wires. I would like to know where they are tied in at, (has to be under the dash somewhere) would it be ok to use either the # 8 or the red with LO on it. any help would be greatly apprecaited as im looking to hook my shower pump up.

Also would anyone know if joe or wayne would have a diagram of how my boat was wired and what those #'s mean and how they can be used?
What i would like to do is take either the red with "LO" or the #8 brown and wire it to a switch (like whats in the dash) then hook the #11 brown to the other side of the switch and then take the #11 under my back seat and hook it to the shower pump. any thoughts/ideas?
also would i have to put a circuit breaker in with the switch, or would a In-line fuse be ok?

If you never got your shower straight, check out this site. I got one and it works great, in or out of the boat. They even upgraded my spray nozzle and put on a 12 ft hose at no extra costs.
