    Anyone know what these wires are for?

    Just bought a 2013 G23. Been going through it just checking everything out and found these wires just like shown in the pic. Anyone have any idea what they're for? Diagnostic wires? Accessory wiring for an option not on the boat? Maybe why not hooked up. They are located in the floor hatch where the ballast pumps, battery boxes, and stuff are.

    If there on the starboard side then they are for the rear courtesy lights under the folding seat. At leas that's what I think. Can't remember from when I pulled my floor up last year.s

      Yes, sorry, forgot to say they're on the starboard side up towards that front corner just behind the drivers seat. The 2 reddish colored hoses are for the heater.

          Thanks nohlan! Would you happen to know what the 5th wire is for? The greenish/blue wire with the red male spade connector.

            I don't know I would have to look at my boat. I don't remember that one.

              The green one is likely a bond to ground. See if there is a bonding post that should return to the negative side of the battery within reach of that wire.

                  Hey guys. Finally got to check out the wires. The blue and black wires with the yellow and blue spade connectors are for the courtesy lights. I plugged them up and the lights came on. I dug around the main wiring harness where these wires are and found another greenish/blue wire with a female spade connector not plugged into anything. It seems obvious that these 2 wires are meant to be plugged together. Any idea's what they could be for? I'm a little afraid to "just plug them in and see what happens".

                    I'd say if the wire colors are the same and they are length that makes sense than you should be fine. I was thinking after it could be a ground for the on board battery charger or something maybe? I still haven't got a chance to look at mine. At least you got the lights going!
