2002 196 Rear Storage Locker Button - Transom

[fsts2k]

Does anyone know how to gain access to the button on the rear transom that releases the ski locker? The button in the boat works but the one on the rear transom does not. I am guessing a wire has come off.

Thank you

I would think you could access it from inside the ski locker. I was just in my 2003 216, and I could access the one on that boat from in there.

Those switches are weird. There are FOUR terminals on them, but only two wires. If one is still connected, connect the other one opposite the installed one, not beside it.

Thanks Jeff! I will look at it and see what I can determine. Does your switch then have two terminals not connected then?

[NautiqueJeff]

That's correct.

Interesting, wonder if that is to support a daisy chain concept. Will look

It's behind the center "half round" panel. Pull the panel from the bottom towards the bow. Wires are right there to access the switch, you'll likely find one off. Watch when you put the panel back in, I almost always knock the wire off the first time and have to redo it. Easy fix though

Nice, thanks!!!
