My boat sat unused for 9 months with a dual bank trickle charger on the batteries. When I finally was able to crank it on dry land using a muffler the switch panel (see part 1142314 below) which runs the light, horn, etc would not respond. I took the boat to my local marine mechanic who said the switch panel was fried and needed replacing.
I obtained a replacement part from Sea Ray which was pricey but necessary, however, now as the mechanic is installing the new switch panel his multi-meter is measuring a small amount of voltage on the black ground wire (see DC wiring schematic below). Since he's not sure at this point what caused the switch panel to fry previously as no fuses in the fuse box were blown he is hesitant to proceed further.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to proceed are most welcome.
