Default Where to get info on boat wiring

Jim,
I bought the boat without the lights working. I have the anchor light,
the bow lights, and two foot lights on the center console. There is a
switch for the lights on the center console and a three-way switch for
the bow lights and anchor light. I have tested the switches and have
power coming from the other side of the switch when I turn it on but
when I check the lights themselves I have no power. The wiring runs
throughout the hull with limited access. Any suggestions on where to
look for maybe a broke wire or something?
Thanks for your response and looking forward to hearing back from ya

The best chance of finding a wiring diagram is from Proline. It could
also
be that there are none available. What kind of lights are we talking
about?
Are they all turned on and off with the same switch? When was the last
time
at least some of those lights were working?

Anyone out there know how to get a wiring digram for a pro-line boat? I
have a problem with my lights, they don't work. I have checked the
fuses, grounding terminal etc. but can't seem to find out why none of
the lights work. I have a hull number if it might help (PLC00166D686).
If anyone could help I would be most appreciative.
Thanks



If you have power to the switches and no lights on different circuits, you
are missing the ground at a central point. Run a ground wire to any of the
lights and see if all now work. The mising ground will be either at the
battery, least likely, or at a terminal block near the battery.
