Had my accessory switch die on me which runs my bottom machine. I changed out the switch, but by the time it came in the mail I had forgot which plug went where. After popping a few fuses I think I got it right, but the bottom machine only beeps when I press the power button. Nothing comes on the screen. Also in the process, my bilge switch aerator switch quit working. I'm giving up on it! Anyone have a person/shop to recommend to tackle this for me?

Fishing coach, going to second your request for a good contact. I don't have anything broken right now, but the innards of my center console look like a spaghetti explosion from past jobs/add-ons. Have multiple 20' loops wrapped up inside and I can see the weight of the coils is stressing the connections at my instrument panel and I'm going to have problems soon if I don't address it now. Really want a good electric system clean up as well as putting a second battery in the console, as I have everything (sonar, radio, bait pump, etc...) running from 1 battery right now and would prefer keeping a single battery dedicated to running the engine.

the Parkway boys will fix it.

My old aluminumn bass boat had a throttle issue and it would shock me occassionally. The faster I went the harder the shock. I took it to multiple repair replaces without resolution before I took it to Parkway. Ran it for a month without issue after they saw it and sold that SOB.

Mike Paulette at Shields Marina in St. Marks, is also a whiz at cleaning up electrical issues. He's tackled a couple for me on the Bayshore and nothing is ever easy on that boat. 850-925-6158.

Parkway Marine rewired my Mitzi for me this past spring, and it sure does look purty now. Decent price too!

Mike Paulette, now thats a name I haven't heard in a while. He could also catch large trout in the old team seatrout tournaments that Scott used to have several years back. Good creek fisherman. O yea, Great boat mechanic.

Captain Vic (aka Sir Vic) had a metal boat he used for guiding that would shock the crap out of you. He issued leather gloves to his clients when they got on the boat.

You might throw Mike's Marine Ways (St. Marks) in the hat.
