[KonaKing]

IMO, you are going to have the same problem of the bag being emptied if you use the same hole in the hull for your intake and outtake. I would take the outtake hole and put it up near the rubrails.

Here is the schema of how I am planning to install the ballast.

What do you think?

ek, are you sure you checked all the breakers by the drivers seat???? But do what chpthril is suggesting also.

Andrew and I did check them.

I will, are they some breakers or fuses?

Resettable breakers with a red button

Look on the transom wall, that's where they are located on my 06

I looked by the battery and I didn't see any breakers there, I did see 2 big fuses and they were both in perfect condition

I'll still bet the farm on this one.



But, there are a couple of breakers back there by the batts, and one could be tripped.

Where are you pulling your power & ground from? My first guess would be a missed wire eyelet at the "house" battery.

He is missing power from the battery to the breaker box and yes a lot of other things were inop. We did not have a DVOM with us or even a test lite. My guess is that one of the 60amp fuses at the battery is blown. You are only as good as the tools you own and if you know how to use them. That is one of the tools I forgot to pack in my bag for the week. EKsilva knows what he needs to test to get it going. I am sure this weekend he will be working on it. Infact I am going to call him on the phone.

Where you able to determine whether it was Pos or Neg that was missing? Odds are that everthing in the breaker box is hot or a lot of stuff would be inop.

We tied into the open circuit breaker panel slots. We also put a fuse in the lines in addition to the circuit panel spots. On G's boat we uses the open spots on the + and - Buss bars under the dash.

There should be three wires on the positive side of the main battery.

Thanks, I was happy with it.

I got to figure out why the power is not coming though. The dealership did something to it and we are getting no juice.

I also need to finish installing all the hoses and wiring the pumps.
