now thats funny

The only thing missing from this circuit is Forward/reverse switch and wiring schematic. With DC Circuits, the color codes are different. Red wire is Hot; The black is Ground. The other color wires are also hot but limit the windings used. That portion should be correct. The reverse should be through a reversing relay which changes the polarity of the red and black wires going back to the battery.

Yeah, I understand dc circuits. My problem was trying to make one switch be both fwd/rev and cont run. I was trying to make 2 switches do the job of 3.

Hey Jeremy I couldn't help with the wiring but if you get stuck on the lake give me a call, i can come tow you in at least I am close to you.
Hope it works.

I would have tried the same thing - two switches do the job of three. I think there is a way though, just have to think about it - not that it matters any more though in your case. Glad you got it running. I am glad fishervet helped you out :)

how bout we just stick to you giving me fishin' advice and we continue to help folks like jeremy out... i didn't know i knew so much about wiring....

Vet, of course you know more than you thought. Installing wiring, you go through an opening after lifting a flap out the way, You reach the right spot then hook it up. Isn't that similiar to lifting up a cow,s tail and and reaching in until you find what you are looking for. Then hooking it up? Just sayin, you know a lot about bs. :biggrin

:hesaid See. That's what I was talking about. Try to pay someone a complement and sheesh.
