Electrical Gremlins
My 2002 170 CC had no response on the stern light (Running & Anchor). After much searching, I found a failure in the single connection on the wiring harness jack for this light. Nothing green, all other circuits working.
I cut this single wire above and below the harness jack and put a jumper in to complete the circuit.
Also had a problem with the circuit breaker/ switch block caused by water leaking from my trim tab switches right on to this area on the CC. Bennett replaced the tab switch at no charge with a better, no leak model and I replaced my switches and circuit breakers with new. Dick @ Merritt was most helpful getting the right circuit breakers. The switches are available most anywhere elec. repair 'stuff' is sold.
If my boat sat in storage all the time, I would not have these problems. Fairly intense use when I do get her out and things happen.
