diagrams for their customers (or technicians) and those of us in the
field simply rely on experience and understanding of circuits to
diagnose and correct anomalies. So.......

I have created a rather crude one as a first version just to get it up
and test it, so you guys are the first to see it and make suggestions.
Things I have on my list for version 2 will include positive and
negative symbols on each accessory, better sound bites, a key, and some
text describing how it works. Improved graphics will come later, perhaps
by trying to fit it into a diagram that looks like a boat.

For now, simply click on the uncoloured (Canadian spelling) circle to
activate a 'switch' and watch and listen (turn your sound on!) :-)

Promise me one thing - please try and keep this thread on topic so I can
gather your input without having to filter for content. Thanks!

Very nice! *I hope some of the electrically-inclined here can add
suggestions to make it cover more territory, and that you can
implement the suggestions with the flash programming.

Here at work I have dial-up wich is a pain. so I'll be happy to look
it over when I get home

Thanks Dave!

Having a coloUr key will be most helpful when you create the
engine wiring drawing. (For outboards, I/Os and inboards?)
Good thing it's coming up winter when I KNOW you have nothing
to do, and the time hangs heavy on your hands. (heh)

Thank you for the Canadian spelling of colour - makes me feel right at
home here again. :-)

And you're absolutely right about the colour coding - could be very
useful. Might as well add in the fuel gauge and livewell pumps on the
next go too.

I see you put Harry at the top of the drawing. Good show.
