[Tiara Open] Electrical Issue: Some helm switches not working

[twilson0929]

I own a 2003 Open that is almost idsentical to the 2001 38 Open.. Not sure if you are aware but there are 3 circuit breakers under the stairs which provide power to the helm (marked Helm A, Helm B, & Helm C)... Check to make sure they are on.... Additionally, I had several of these breakers go bad years ago... The"Stud" on the back of the breaker(s) came out.... To get to the back of the breaker panel under the stairs is easy... Go into the engine room and on the bulkhead (behind the access ladder) is a white box... Remove the screws and ypu will get to the back of the circuit panel.... It's a guess what your problem is but I'd check to ensure the breakers aren't broken.. M2C

Very helpful. I will check that first. I have my autopilot mounted to that wood piece behind the ladder. May have been a bad location for that.
