Apologies to each and all Terry's. I was being a SA over the aluminum plate over transom cap.
I'm dumbfounded with the issues I'm having with electrical, plumbing and now hydraulically. Got her safely on the trailer again last night. My OMC mechanic of twenty years is now telling me to drag her 300 miles back to SC. Almost makes sense now that my boating connection here is gone.
If I have a short in Batt. One position, which appears to have everything in the stern connected to the positive, is it very possible, when turned to off the bilge pump is dead? And if so, then same for float switch?
Though my Refurbished 1982 Whaler 15 (sold), the 88 under construction, the 79 MA, and even my brothers Jersey Speed Skiff, all had much simpler systems, I watched/assisted with all installations. Feel pretty dumb expecting this one to be as new.
