[Rhodes22-list] Two unrelated questions

[James Schroll]

We keep our 1990 Rhodes 22 (refurbished by Stan in 2016) at a neighbors house on the Magothy River (5 miles or so north of Annapolis).  She has a boat lift which has become available, but I will clearly need to build some bunks in order to use it.  Right now, there are two 3”w x 12”h beams running (parallel to the centerline of the boat) attached to the tow steel I beams of the lift.  Does anyone have any experience, plans, dimensions, pictures, or anything else which might guide my creation of a set of bunks?  If nothing else, I can try to reproduce the layout of the bunks on our trailer, but actual dimensions/angles would certainly help.

Secondly, most fo the electrical circuits seem to not be functioning.  The batteries are fine and the engine starts immediately, the cabin lights work, and the radio (which does not appear to be wired into the breaker panel works, but the running lights, 12 v outlets, anchoring light, and masthead light are not functioning.  Does anyone have wiring diagrams which might be of help?  I’m pretty sure that the wiring is not all original (some of the wires leaving the breaker panel are different than those arriving at the lights, suggesting splices and homemade repairs).  Any suggestions on how to attack this?

Thanks,

Jim Schroll
