2002 PT-185 Electric Problems

[carl beasley]

OK, time to fess up. Back in 2005 a hurricane blew threw dropping a couple feet of water. NumbNutz, sorry I meant to say LeftNut - that be me- left the drain plug in last time I went fishing. Didn't get to check on the boat until 3 months later only to discover I now had a bathtub, not a boat. I drained it, cleaned it up, put on a new cover and there she sat in outdoor storage until yesterday.



After looking things over, not too bad. The electrical took a hit due to the batteries being submerged. I've replaced all the connectors in and around the Batts, the charger still works, as well as the motor tilt. Won't know about the gauges, etc until I can power up. And therein lies the problem.



All of the mini-fuses corroded to nothing. I call Tracker and they emailed the electrical diagrams. Those plans tell me all about wire size, amp size for each major item but not which mini-fuse goes in which slot of the fuse box.



So, could some generous PT-185 owner help me out and write down the fuses amp sizes or take a picture for me? There are 8 fuses. 4 on the left and 4 on the right. amp size is stamped on the top of the plastic, facing out towards you.



Thanks alot. And, yes I'm a dumbazz.

Not sure it's going to be that easy. I was told by the parts manager at the Okla City BPS that there was no standard pattern to the fuse block. I never did confirm if he was correct or not. Do a search for my thread "Can You Believe This???" dated 4/6/2007.



Good Luck

Lamr,



Ref your post "I have a wiring diagram for my '02 PT185 that shows not only the lay-out of the fuses, but the color code of the wires. I refuse to believe what the "parts manager" told you. Any manufacturing process has to be standardized.

I'd sure like to get a copy of your electrical diagram.

Thanks to all that sent photos. I set for the photo.



Lamar if you read this I'd still like a copy of your electrical diagram.
