Buying a multimeter is good advice. It will pay for itself many
times over.

If you have multiple circuits failing it will probably turn out to be
a bad connection coming from, or returning to, your battery.

On the other hand the wiring, fuse panel and switches in a boat that
old are probably pretty well shot. Replacing all that is a non
trivial project but it will save you a lot of aggravation down the
road.



The boat is from 1976 or so he says? Doubt there is much left worth
salvaging on the thing. He would be better off to just find a newer boat...
