Re: Sunken Glastron GT-150
Probably just moisture on/in the switches. Should be making the engine mis-behave, instead of the driver. Ground is off on the control set.
A day or 2 in the sun should take care of the short. The ground problem is a wiring fault.
hope it helps

So I should have a ground wire running from the control box (Throttle/shifter) to a ground? Sorry I am a newb! Before the boat sunk, I had intermittent tachometer problems, but if I wiggled the wiring harness (out of the box toward the gauges) the tach would work again.
I know I have a short, but could that cause the shock to my hand? The shock feels more like 110 A/C. I thought at first it was D/C voltage coming from the plugs, but the "shock" is too fast. It feels just like lighting yourself up from household wiring. More like a "Buzz" than a "Series of Shocks" like an ignition would do. (I have been popped a few times from bad plug wires on my car, but then again it is a 4 stroke, so it probably would be different on a 2 stroke) But the more the boat dries out, the lesser the shock seems to be.
no automatic bilge????? dude it rained all morning!! wowser!
I had an automatic pump, but I think it bit the big one!
I had an old "800" pump that was sitting in the gunwale, but it was unhooked after I wired up the automatic. Once the 800 was hooked BACK-up and tossed in the back, it worked like a champ for 2 hours to drain it out! (The pump, plus a lot of buckets lol)
Just as a funny coincidence, we have the same name and last initial, plus we are from about the same area... My last name is Gibbs and I grew up in Willamston... Too Funny.
