Well, personally, I didnt see any wiring that was a total mess. We're both standing at a fence, your section is 4 board, mine is 3 board.....

This you?
 
Ouch....... that hurts to even look at!


corsair23 and niteninja11........, I think that all of us are wanting to help you be safe.
When we get ourselves in the right conditions, and have an issue, it could cause something as simple as a No-Start, and we may find ourselves drifting into danger, or spending time in a storm and not being able to run back to shore, and so on.
Add to this an older person who may not fair these conditions as well as a young person, and you have a greater risk here.

The Murphy comment is more true than it may be giving credit here!
A great deal of safe boating pertains to "Preventative" measures....., such as this potential wiring issue(s).

It's not like having car/truck problems, whereby we can pull over to the side of the road, flag someone down, hitch a ride, walk, etc!

I had an old '69 Evinrude boat with an OMC and the wiring looked very similar. Back then I don't think they were as neat and tidy as they are today. I had that boat for years and never experienced a problem due to the "messy" wiring. Just sayin'...

Hi I'm new to the forums and just bought a late 60's I wanna say chris craft i have all the manuals for it but alot of what I see in the boat is fishy...I was told it has the Buick v6 engine with the omc stern drive. Now most of the wiring I believe is hooked up except I counted 8 wires or so..I never have worked on a boat before and all the guys I called about Milwaukee, wi say a Buick motor can't be used in any boat..I guess what I'm asking is if anyone would be able to take pictures of the wiring setup they have starter, the soleinoids, battery, grounds all that and could possibly label them for me? Or if someone around Wisconsin could maybe help me out I'll willing to pay or give beer which ever you like maybe cook some food idk...I can bring it you to if it's not horribly far I know summers almost over but I would like to get it ready put it in the water make sure it's gonna be ok for next summer so I can finally use it. I've be trying to figure this beast out for 4 months Thanks for any info
