Locating the old Autohelm manual, I was able to trace all the lines and confirm to where they were going/coming. I have no idea how old the Autohelm is or when it was installed. It looked liked the Autohelm was powered directly to the engine without a fuse in between... I was afraid perhaps the Autohelm might have been blown if it saw a power surge... I disconnected the wire to the engine and connected the Autohelm power line to one of the fuses shown in the mess of wiring in the pic on the left (been working for two years trying to clean this mess up, doesn't look like I've done much).
Next, need to go out and see how she works!!!!
The pic bottom right shows my "labeling system" for all the new stuff put on the panel in the past couple of years... Bilge pump was also rewired to the existing spot.
Next stop, West Marine for new circuit breaker panels with more spots!
Have I mentioned? I'm exhausted. and, I don't think I can exert any more muscle power out of my arms.
