Thanks for the help fellas- I am very mechanically inclined but electricity and I just don't get along- so re-wiring the boat is not something I am looking forward to...This is getting to be a pretty big refurbishing if not an outright rebuild effort- It is not the quick swap out the soft deck deal I had hoped for. I looked at the list of materials and equipment I have bought- just about the only thing not being replaced is the original stainless steering wheel- the NFB Teleflex 4.2 steering system is brand new, 704 binnacle control is brand new- new Yamaha ignition switch and harness, 1998 Yamaha 75 HP 2 stroke replaced a 1974 Johnson 70 hp, new 1/2 inch marine plywood cored laminated sole, new poured in flotation foam, new 27 gallon aluminum fuel tank, fuel gage sending unit, hoses, etc. New electronics, new wiring, new navigation lights, new bilge pump with overboard discharge thru hull fitting cut into port aft side under the 170 emblem- That is pretty close to a full rebuild, don't you think?

We started a full blown home remodeling project this Spring and the boat is taking a back seat for a while--I'll let you know when I can get back on it-

I have a friend who retired this year.   He has more projects stacked up than I do.. and that is saying a lot! 
He told me that he has less time now than he did before he retired...    Hmm...
