Can't locate the 'source' end of 12V accesory to the Flybrid

Post by Late Start »

Hi All...thanks for you previous help.

1987 Trojan 10 Meter Flybridge Sedan.

As in the Subject to this post, I can't manage to get a 'hot' reading on the supplied 12Volt buss termination on my Flybridge. (The one to power all my aftermarket electronics). I can see (but yet have not done a continuity check due to the distance) a similar #8 Pair connected to the starboard Reset Breaker in the Starboard side of my Battery Box. Is that the one? And, is it perhaps connected through the DC Breaker Panel before reaching the Bridge? Hmmmmm.

Just got this great boat, and a lot of housekeeping is in order...former owners were, well, sloppy to say the least. (I'm still trying to acquire a factory schematic of this vessel).

Many Thanks,

the wires should be numbered so you can see if its the same . Beacon marine should be able to get you a manual complete with wiring diagram

Not sure I should ever offer advice, so disqualify me.

That said, my breaker panel is forward of my salon, between the dinette and just above the engine compartment. Immediately behind it, in the sliding compartment on my starboard side, below the window, there is a cornicopia of wiring behind a white plastic shield. Remove said shield, you'll see several numbered leads(orange in my case, yours might be older and have a different color). These leads are all numbered. One of the PO on my boat didn't know what he was doing and the wire terminals on the strip in this area sometimes don't land on terminal strips under the helm. You should also be able to match up the wire markers to the battery breakers, if you have them, in the dc distribution box.
