You can perch yourself on a chair and snag brewskis out of the cooler for yourself and I, dish out thoughtful advice, tell me what I'm doing wrong, or just provide emotional support. Or, tell me I'm an idiot and should have never started this damn project. Regardless, I promise we won't have to get closer than necessary.- - - Updated - - -Also, I started piecing together some mysteries last night: 1) The three wires running to the back of the boat (green, blue and purple) were for the old hydraulics. Thinking I could just splice them into the new motor's extra tilt/trim wires to get my bow toggle switch working, I did that. Tried every conceivable configuration, however, and nada. Hmmm...bad toggle, perhaps?2) An orange wire running to one of the two "Acc." fuzes winds up in the bow of the boat with its corresponding negative cable. So I have the ability to hook up another depth finder if I want. This is plausible, as I have a trolling motor with a ducer built in. All I need to do is find the appropriate coupler to marry it to my old extra Eagle and we're in "bid-ness" as the kids say. 3) My gas gauge does not work, and I can't figure out why. My inkling is that it might have worked before I replaced the old tachomter, and one of the wires that kept the entire gauge cluster in tandem that I took off made it inoperable. Or it hasn't worked for a long time and I just didn't know it. Another mystery...4) After a thorough investigation, I have just one internal light for my boat. One. Yet the switch has no less than 8 wires running to it. Why the hell one light with two wires going to it somehow multiplies into 8 at the switch is mind boggling. Maybe during all this time they bred and reproduced while in storage?5) I did successfully remove some old wires for the old boat that I'd forgotten about, thus decluttering the mess by the slightest amount. Progress.</blockquote>
