1988 Larson 250 Delta Sport

[eastont]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and I looking to see if there are any others who have issues similar to mine, and if so how they remedied them.

First I have water in the cabin after each rainfall. I've caulked everywhere I can think of but still it gets real wet inside. Sometimes there's more than an inch of water on the floor. I think it may be coming in from the bow somewhere but ......

Secondly, I have problems with the lighting in the cabin. Both the courtesy lights and the cabin lights are not working.

Does anyone have or know of a wiring routing diagram.

Thanks

Ayuh,...

Have somebody spray the outside with a Hose, while you look for the Leak, inside...

It's only 2 wires,... Power,+ Ground....
Follow the Power from the Switch to the Lights, with a Testlight or Multimeter...
Same with the Ground, it flows from the application to the battery Ground...

Done that and can't see where the water comes in. It just starts to appear on the floor, as though it is seeping in from under the carpet.

There is power in the cockpit behind the dash but when I check it at the light above the bed there is no ground. Same as the courtesy lights. The wiring diagram shows that both sets of light come off the same fuse panel and ground block. What I'm looking for is where the wires go after they leave the dash.....do they go down the port side, under the dinette, through the ceiling panels......etc. I'm thinking I might just have to re-wire it completely in the spring.

Ayuh,... All I can tell you is,.... Water flows Downhill.....

Sometimes you have to remove various panels, or whatever your boat is made of, to See what's behind it...
None of Us here can just tell you Which screw to recaulk to fix your Leak....
You've got to Look,... We can't see it from here....

Same with your Lighting,.... Pull the fixtures,+ Look...
The Odds are, the wires run in the direction they disappaer in...
