So on sunday it was very foggy up here in Wisconsin, so ran the lights for over 45 mintues to get to the spot were we where hunting! Once I got there all my lights went out (Spot, nav and spot front of boat)! My fuse and the fuse casing on my 2011 PD melted. Do I have a problem with my wiring, and should I bring it in or should I not worry about it, just replace the part myself?

THANKS just a little worried, boat aint cheap!

Sounds like you are drawing too much current on the wiring and using a fuse that is too large. What all are you running and what size is your wire and fuse?

That, or you have a short.

Yeah that fuse should blow before the wiring starts "smoking"

I dont know its all from the boat dealer, they hooked it up. I called them today and they told me to bring it in, so im bringing it in on friday. The way he was talking it could be a ground that was shorted. Problem up here in wisconsin, theres only one dealer that sells PD's, and he prob only sold 2 or 3 a year. I guess thats why im nervious! :shock:

That sucks. I would think any boat mechanic should be able to handle wiring lights. I wired up a few things on my last boat. It's not that hard.

I was hunting in that fog on Sunday too. Haven't seen fog like that in a while. That was the slowest I've run my rig since I got it. Gotta love WI. Boat covered in a 1/4" of frost at 5am and back up to 70 degrees by noon.

I didn't know there was a PD dealer in WI at all. I ended up going down to Clinton, Iowa to buy mine. I wanted their hull anyways, so it didn't matter. Where did you get yours?
