While routing some new wiring, I managed to pull off most of the wires to the rocker switch which controls the engine hatch. The wiring diagram in the manual is not user friendly showing only one wire. Can someone please help me with this. Either a more complete diagram or a picture of the wired switch would help a lot. Thank-you.

Exceptional condition, inside, outside, bilges and engines.
You probably have a 6 terminal DPDT switch ( double pole, double throw ) with the corner poles jumped together. Use a meter to find the two power leads. One will be plus 12 volts and the other negative 12 volts. Probably red ( + ) and black (- ). Connect the hot leads to the two center terminals. Then connect the other two leads to the two terminals on one end of the switch. If you press up and it goes down, reverse the two center leads.
Let us know how you made out.

Thanks Capt. George. That's exactly the switch I have. I'll give it a go tomorrow afternoon. Thanks again.
