Guys I gave googled my tail off and cannot find a logical answer, so I am presenting this to the forum.
The PO of
boat did some interesting things to the
wiring. My present problem is that the blower can only be controlled by the breaker below decks. I assumed that the solution was just running a wire to and from the switch on the
engine panel at the
helm. When I got into the
project I found that the panel switch was already wired to the ignition. So I now have two hot leads.
Lead #1 from panel to blower controlled by the blower breaker.
Lead #2 from the hot leg on the ignition switch, through in-line fuse to switch on panel, from switch to the blower. This line was snipped and left next to the blower.
Everything I found on the
Internet called for a standard 3-way switch, but there is no sign of that was ever done here. The Tartan
wiring diagram does not show this connection. My DC wiring skills are rusty, but everything I know about AC screams that tying these two hot lead together and feeding the blower with them is a bad thing....
So the $25,000 question is.... How should the blower be wired such that it can be controlled from either the helm/engine panel or the breaker panel.
Thanks
Bill
