Rat's nest wiring

[Jareds]

I just had the nav lights switch to go bad on my 1980 260 sundancer. I've got new switch but when I got into the wiring it was a total nightmare. wires cut spliced into the whole shebang. Does anyone have diagram of what the switch wiring is supposed to be so I can try to put things back to right in the switch area. Any help is much appreciated thanks.

Welcome to the site, and congrats on your purchase.
Luck for me the previous owner provided me with some original documents, and I thought these might be helpful to you.

Good Luck

Thanks Manny that wiring diagram helped more than you know. I cant understand why people have to cut/splice all over the place in wiring on boats. I found several going nowhere and some that I have no idea where they go or went to at one time. It's still a mess but made some improvements today and got a couple faulty switches replaced.

Happy I could help. I had my own rat's nest as well, only I know my limits and my electrical issues were better left for my mechanic, and it was money well spent. LOL
Good luck getting her right, but more importantly don't forget to enjoy her.
