[alberg30] Westerbeke wiring

[Peter Amos]

Peter, If your Westerbeke wiring  is similar to mine you will find there are two wiring harnesses from the engine to the control panel,both harnesses having multi plugs and sockets in their lengths close to the engine so that they can easily disconnected.

To shift the control panel (I have the Admiral) unplug the harnesses, disconnect the fuel gauge spade terminals  at the tank, remove the panel and refix in the new cutout.Plug the harnesses back together, slide the spade terminals back on. Job done as far as the electrics are concerned.  The harnesses are already overlong for the run from the engine to the low cockpit panel position and resiting the panet closer to the engine just means there is more to coil up and fix out of the way.As the engine cutout and throttle are not part of the control panel I shall leave them where they are as cockpit flooding will not cause any problem to them.

What I would really like is a single lever shift control incorporating the throttle.Another project for the future.
