[Rhodes22-list] Inoperative motor lift

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Bob,
Which side of the rocker switch are you seeing fluctuating voltage?  You said the laz terminals look good as far as the voltage is concerned.  I assume the rocker switch is wired to those?  If you are seeing funny readings on the supply side of the rocker switch, you probably have a bad connection in that wiring somewhere.  Sometimes the ring terminals get corroded and you might take a piece of sandpaper and clean those up a bit.  Or the terminal to wire connection can also be bad and might need to be replaced.

Really ned some help here.  Got the boat rigged and was checking all the moving parts only to find the motor lift inoperative.  Called Stan and he sent me a new switch, which turned out not to be the problem.  Began by tracing the power.  batteries both check ok, 13+ volts.  Lazarette terminals check good power.  when checking the switch wires from the lazarette to the up/down rocker switch at the switch end, got fluctuating voltage ( all over the place).  lift motor works fine when hooked to separate battery.  Stan is mulling it over, but we idon’thave an answer yet.  Any Ideas?  Feel free to call.  Thanks
