Grant MacLaren's 1972 Correct Craft Skier MacSkier (It's a PRE-NAUTIQUE.) The wiring was an oil-soaked mess when I got the boat: Click photo for larger image. Click photo for larger image. Click photo for larger image. Click photo for larger image.

Aft deck barrier terminal strip for blower, 360 white light, fuel gauge -- the bolt is epoxied in place, to be used for common/ground: Click photo for larger image. 4/26/15 -- Posted on CCF -- Can someone tell me the function(s) of numbered items in following photo? I'm sure of #1 (horn) and #4 (ignition/start). I suspect #5 is ventilation blower, because of warning label above switch. I also suspect # 2 is navigation lights, because it is a two position switch.

Boat is a '72 Skier, so originally it had no remote fuel gauge on instrument panel, but apparently it had a light under aft deck -- to view gauge at night through window on deck. (The boat now has an electric gauge with light, mounted in aft deck where original "window" was mounted.) Original was not an electric gauge. It was a simple mechanical float gauge.
Instead of running aft deck wires in bilge as CC did, We'll run these wires under starboard deck in a small (1/2" ?) diameter PVC thin wall pipe. We'll consider running another wire for fuel gauge light -- and have it operate its light with others on skipper's control panel. If this wire is not run, we'll wire it to be "on" when 360 white light is "on."
