96 Wellcraft (19') fuse panel location/ignition wiring diagram

[triethuynh]

help please

Last fall my father bought a 1996 wellcraft (19') with what we think 115HP evinrude (same year). It ran great at the dealer. When we return to use it for the first time after winter--He lost the keys-- He then disasemble the ignition switch to make a new key.

Without wiring diagram for the ignition key, I am unable to help him get the boat runing again.

I try to find a hot wire but also unable to find any that is hot with the wires that I have to connect to the ignition switch. (the batery is fully charge and there is power to the instrument panel)

1. Does any one know where the fuse panel for this boat is ?? I look everywhere but can not locate it. (There is no clear "kill" switch for the ignition and there is no "kill" insert that I could attach to the ignition switch other than the key.)

2. Does also any one know the wiring diagram for this ?? engine ???


thank

Triet

Not sure which model Wellcraft you have, but I have the 190ccf Fisherman.

My boat doesn't have a fuse panel. Wellcraft decided to use pushbutton circuit breakers installed next to the toggle switches on my model. But I do have a 20 amp fuse near my battery switch. That could be what you're looking for though. The previous owner wasn't very knowledgeable about boating and only told me that if the outboard didn't crank to check it.

There is a grounding bar mounted on the back wall in my console and an accessory bar mounted along the backside of the helm just under tachometer.
The accessory bar is pretty easy to access and add onto. Though I would suggest picking up a new one for less than $10 at Westmarine or Ace if yours is corroded. It would be a good idea to swap out the grounding bar too while you?re at it.

The last suggestion I can make to you is to make sure your battery is connected, switched on, or charged. Sounds silly, but it happens to the best of us.

Hope this help,

Tight lines and good luck.

On my 1996 190 CCF Wellcraft boat I do not see an accessary panel under the tachometer. I wonder if some of these same models came with that accessary panel and some did not??
