Doral Dash

[Yukon Mike]

I have recently bought my first boat which is a 1985 Doral 16' with a 70 horse Evinrude, got what i thought was a good deal. needless to say it has a few issues that need attention which will make a great winter project. The issue i'm having is there are 7 switches in the dash, none of which work...i want to get this boat to where everything work's, but i cant figure out what all these switches are controling. any help with this would be greatly appriciated.

This is such a great site i have learned so much allready.

I have a 1985 Doral 164. Photos of the boat, motor, switches and anything else you have questions about would be a great help.
Hope to see them soon.

Re: Doral Dash

And some photo's would help me to help you. We most likely have the same boat.

Re: Doral Dash

Might be more like my Colt, actually 15ft 6in esp if it has a 70. Let me think as mentioned before horn, wipers, nav lights, bilge pump, panel lights. Do you have a little display with little red lights just to the left of the switches? Anyway it is just basic wiring, go through it with a test light and you should be ok. I got all my stuff to work even had to buy a new horn.

Re: Doral Dash

Actually follow this link to the 1985 Doral brochure. Unfortunately it is in French but you can look at all the photos and let us know which one it is.
