Thanks MarkD and Tooeez. I appreciate that. Looks like I'll basically have to start over but it would be nice to know how it was wired from the factory.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Just moved the 1979 B28 from Melbourne to Marathon. We had some electrical issues on the way down...........did a lot of electrical repair underway.

Heat running amps will be a little higher that AC running amps. I think I'm going with a 9-10K btu unit and possibly even adding a hard sta...

Looking for advice on BTU capacity, sea water discharge location etc. I'm assuming that the best place to locate th...
