seahawk lighting problems

[MichaelScott87]

Anyone know of someone that would be able to fix all the lights on my boat? None of them seem to be working and I don't even know where to start? Theres no fuses for them the wires come straight out of the swith and run to the lights. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing your talking about your running lights. I'd go get a test light and start at the switch and see if you have power there. You should have one wire that is always hot and then throw the switch to see if you get power to another wire. If that checks out ok then its time to check for power at both lights. Im guess sense both do not work you either have a loose wire at the switch, a bad conection, or there is a fuse which your not finding. Those back lights that you slide a pole into go bad very often.

and, as you do the above, clean up the bulb and socket contacts to shiny then coat them with grease. Once clean, Dielectric grease does well to stop corrosion and oxidation that insulates these surfaces from each other. Neary all of my lighting problems have been these contact surfaces until given the above treatment.
Good Luck!
