Default Where to get info on boat wiring

I'm thinking you will not find a diagram specific to your boat.

Check at the lights to see if the 12 volts is making it there. Do not
assume that the ground at the lights is good. Instead check for 12
volts between the hot lead to each light and a known good ground such
as the negative terminal of the battery. You could also do a
resistance check between that known good ground and the ground lead at
the light. If you have 12v leaving the switch then either it is not
making it to the lights or the ground at the lights is bad. You
probably will have to puzzle out where the wires run yourself. The
good news is that most wire hidden in the structure of the boat really
seldom goes bad. The problems are usually at the ends. Grounds are
often overlooked and can be the problem. Boats being mostly plastic
have to have as many ground wires as they do power wires. Unlike cars
where any metal part is usually a good ground.

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
