...not having a galley faucet or an aft shower head...

Wait a minute, you're telling me you DON'T have a transom shower?  Port side in the transom walk thru area?  So you just have a fresh water tank that does nothing?  Weird....

Started the rewire project today. Here's a photo of the pumps available through the port side access. Think that fresh water tank was never plumbed?

CD,
The pump mounted vertically is your washdown/livewell pump, but what's coming out of the pump mounted horizontally?  There should be a blue water line on the outlet side that runs back to port...

[Circle Hooked]

CD is your water tank mounted under that pump,and were is the fill for the tank.

[Circle Hooked]

Bob got my new bilge pump all hooked up today what a pain in the aft.

Do you remember how the wire is run to the port wiper,look to me like it goes under the carpet in the cabin.

I don't have a wiper and was thinking about using that wiring and switch for some led lights,thinking one or two in the bilge.

Scott,
Do you mean under the "Mouse Fur" on the overhead?  Yeah, it did, ran from the switch panel and was laying there waiting for a wiper motor install.  You can just pull it back into the helm area.  Should be an orange, red, and black.  But I just thought of something.  Do you have a starboard wiper?  if so, it's going to be jumpered off the starboard motor...unless you have 2 switches, one port, the other starboard.  If that's the case, just pull it back (there's a lot of glue holding that headliner in place, it won't come easy...), then use it for your lighting idea.

[Circle Hooked]

Thats the one,i don't have wipers at all,so i figured i would use all that wiring thats doing nothing.

Thanks Bob

Hey Bob was this the factory placement for the pumps? My washdown pump is in the same place but, my freshwater pump is in an ungodly place way down inside.

Bob,
No, it's not.  The original location was on top of the inboard portside stringer.  PITA to get to through that little door! :x

Think i still have fiberglass in my arm pits after changing mine out :evil:

One line runs to a white water line that goes forward to the sink. (I'm assuming it goes to the sink but there's no faucet in the cuddy)
The other goes over to the freshwater washdown. The third line comes out of the water tank.
Is there just a hot and a ground on both of those pumps? I'm not familiar with the object mounted on the bottom of the raw water washdown/livewell pump.

I'm not familiar with the object mounted on the bottom of the raw water washdown/livewell pump.

If you mean the black device with red wires (2), I'd guess a pressure switch.
I think it kills the pump if you stop spraying water but don't manually switch off the pump.

Right you are Bob.  Pumps without pressure switches simply run, and run, and run...

CD, just a simple hot/ground hookup.  But you might want to figure out where the sink line is.  Probably capped off in the sink area underneath.  Yank out that close-out the conceals the port side wing and you'll probably find it there.

Thanks, Bob. I'll make sure it's capped off before powering it up.
As I get deep into this re-wire project, I'm finding all kinds of stupid things the PO did.
For example:
Putting a fuse in line by cutting a wire, putting a female disconnect on either end, then attaching the legs of fuse to both disconnects.
Or tying a bunch of grounds together with ring connectors and a single bolt through the rings.
I think I've figured out where everything gets its power except for the ignition and the tilt. Since my new dash doesn't use breakers, I installed a 12 fuse block and I'm running most things up to the dash from there. It looks like a #6 wire powered everything on the dash before so now that wire's feeding the fuse block.

CD,
Ignition and tilt/trim get their power through the engine harness.  If you put a meter on the red wire on you ign switch, it should read voltage with the key off.  This gives you trim/tilt.  Turn the key to "run", and the purple wire should now have voltage.  This enables your gauges and anything else that relies on ignition power...

Just to clarify, this power doesn't come from inside to boat (to use simple terms). It's all in the harness then directly from the motor to the battery.
