Hello;
I have a Catalina 30 that I am in the process of rewiring.
One of the projects is to move the engine gauge panel from the lower cockpit up higher and upgrade the gauges.
I bought oil pressure, water temp and ammeter from Moyer. I found a Telex fuel gauge that is close the Stewart Warner gauges. I am rounding it out with a remote Panasonic Faceplate for the stereo.
Below is a schematic of the new panel
I am having trouble wrapping my head around the blower switch set up and the ignition to the ammeter. I believe my schematic is wrong for the blower, I know now that the terminal for light on the switch is actually a terminal for grounding the light in the blower switch. I took pictures of the old engine gauge panel and I am confused about the blower switch as it connects to the ignition.
The old setup had one wire from the blower running to the blower switch. The other terminal received a wire from the battery post of the ignition switch, this wire was also fused. Where does the other wire from the blower go?
Second, the old ammeter gauge was setup up like the other gauges. There were posts for Ignition (I), Ground (G) and Sending Unit (S). The new ammeter gauge has ACC (-) and Batt (+) and a center ground.
The old ammeter sent a Orange wire from the (S) to the Output Terminal on the Alternator and to the Batt post on the Ignition Switch. It sent a Red wire from (I) to the (+) of the Battery Terminal on the Starter and a Black wire to the ground.
The manual shows the Red wire going to the Postive side of the Ammeter AND the the Battery post of the Ingition and the Orange wire going to the Negative side of the Ammeter. This seems opposite of what my panel actually did.
This is the old panel
Any help for me?
Thanks in advance
Chris
