Re: electrical problems

sorry the part making the clicking niose looks like a dual battery switch except it has 2 small wires coming out of the top not one. would this cause electrical problmes with some but not ll of the instruments and electronics

Re: electrical problems

a good thing to do is maybe get a peice of wire and touch the ends to each wire on the back of the trim switch and see if it will work then. it could just be an old switch I had the same problem with my 1974 Aristocraft and realized it was the switch or maybe old wiring. I bridged power from another wire to a different switch and everything seems to be working right now.<br /><br />also is there a fuse box on your boat if so where is it located or perhaps where would it be on my 74' Aristocraft????? because blower was working, now it quit
