Well, look at it philosophically... every small piece of knowledge is
good... it won't be the last time you hang upside down hugging the
engine... hopefully you will learn all details of the boat's wiring and
can correct other little problems before they so rudely interrupt the fun.


I'm hoping to learn the wiring diagram with the Braille method. Then, I
won't need the flashlight.


..... Oh yeah, and they didn't reconnect the low-oil and temp alarms
either.


See what I mean?
Actually disconnected alarms are the best, they never go off and cause
problems & worry.


I was thinking I should disconnect the fuel gauge and depthsounder also. I
bet I could sell them and buy cockpit cushions and have money left over.
