Hi All,
I need some help. I purchased an 85 340 last August. I worked on it over the winter, I had my marina replace the 4 seacocks and thruhull fittings and the garboard drain. They left off the bonding wires and tell me I have to wait until Mid June which is the next time they will have someone available. They tell me the bonding wires are not needed and will not effect anything. I feel that should have been part of the replacement job. The marina owner told me he has been doing this for decades and the bonding wires on the seacocks will not effect anything. Today I tried to start up the engines in prep for going in the water. The port cranks but the starboard did nothing. I played with the battery connections and now the starboard will crank. The problem is the starboard dash gauges all pin when I turn on the nav lights which the breaker for them is also on the starboard side of the dash. Also, the gauges do not light up. The port dash is fine. I did not have this issue when the boat was taken out and winterized. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. thanks
