What is the seal called? Could I get a link please? Thanks!

YYZRC · March 2020

Any idea what the "SWIM LTS" switch is supposed to do?

Would that be for the Seablaze lights? I have that switch also. Doesn’t turn anything on for me.

YYZRC · March 2020

The underwater lights were wired in to one of the accessory switches to the right of the steering wheel.

I did find an unused molex connector when I was working on the boat. It was tie wrapped with the bilge pump and float wiring. I wonder if the switch powers this connector? Next time you’re on the boat see if you have one also.

aero3113 · March 2020

Next time I’m on the boat I’ll check for power.

YYZRC · March 2020

I don’t think so, the wiring behind the switch is dark blue with light blue stripe. Mine was cut and wasn’t connected to anything.

aero3113 · March 2020

Now you really have me wondering. My high water alarm float doesn’t have power to it and I checked the float, it works. I wonder if this molex is for the high water alarm float and the one that it’s currently connected to goes to the switch. Would be crazy but I have found some strange stuff on the boat.

YYZRC · March 2020

That would be messed up! I was going to ask about the high water alarm...

I will check mine too next time I’m at the boat.

I’m guessing the blue/blue wire terminates somewhere in the harness that runs along the transom.

aero3113 · March 2020

You know what, I think the wires to the float for the high water alarm had a blue with a light blue stripe and a black wire. Would be amazing if this is why mine isn’t working. I would go out and check now but I have the fire going and my wife and kids fell asleep.

YYZRC · March 2020

This stuff gives me so much joy!

aero3113 · March 2020

My wife woke up and I quickly ran outside to check. Holy Cr&p that was it!! I turned on the swim light then lifted the high water alarm float and it popped the swim light breaker! I checked for power at the empty molex and it has 12 volts! I have to crimp new bullets but this is crazy! This must not have worked since new!

@YYZRC , Team work !!!!

This pic you can see the breaker popped also!

aero3113 · March 2020

@YYZRC this is where my “swim light” connector is.

aero3113 · March 2020

I just temporally stuck bare wires in the high water alarm float molex connector. The high water alarm now sounds when I lift the float!!

@YYZRC this would’ve taken me months to track down!!

aero3113 · March 2020

I set up my phone to video the speaker to see if the light turns on, yes it does! This is why this forum is so great!

YYZRC · March 2020

Awesome!! That rocks!

aero3113 · March 2020

I do have another open plug on the port side. Has heavier gauge wire to it. I’ll have to look into that one also.

YYZRC · March 2020

Brown/Black is “WIPER” at the helm switch but it’s not heavy gauge.

aero3113 · March 2020

I’ll have to look again but I think it’s red/black

aero3113 · March 2020

Maybe it’s pink/black. According to this link it could be port fuel sender, maybe for a digital gauge?

aero3113 · March 2020

Would be strange to be heavy gauge though.

YYZRC · March 2020

Maybe it’s tan/black?

aero3113 · March 2020

Could be, what would “Port Alarm” be for with heavy gauge?

YYZRC · March 2020

Maybe a fume detector?

aero3113 · March 2020

It doesn’t have any power to it, I don’t know if it’s wired to a switch or gauge.

Spyderweb · March 2020

Boy, I sure miss having access to my boat like you guys. I have an ACC switch where you have SWIM LIGHT. @aero3113, maybe your boat was scheduled to get underwater lights, but then didn't?

aero3113 · March 2020

That’s strange @Spyderweb . But either way, it doesn’t make sense that the high water alarm float was hooked up to that switch.

aero3113 · March 2020

I checked my original panel and it had the swim light switch also, just in a different position.

Aqua_Aura · March 2020

I have the two acc switches on my 280 and did notice the empty connectors in the back. I assumed one is underwater lights and the other is washdown since I think these were both options. I have the wash down by the swim ladder bit I think the other is for the pumped washd from the river/lake/ocean water.

aero3113 · March 2020

@Aqua_Aura , that would make sense why my plug has the heavy gauge wire. I’ll have to check my accessory switches.

Howdy, Stranger!
