Harris Pontoon Wiring Information/Tips
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2016 8:09 pm
Hello all. New member here after having purchased a used 2013 Harris Grand Mariner. We love the boat and layout, but I'm looking to make it our own with some modifications. The First thing I want to do is add a second battery for house loads, as the boat only has one battery at this time.
The battery disconnect switch is a dual circuit plus, but in the off position everything on the boat still functions. The ONLY thing the disconnect switch actually does is prevent starting the motor. This already doesn't seem right to me, and is something I'd like to change while adding another battery.
That being said, are there any Harris owners here who have tips/input on how Harris wires their boats as a starting point for me adding another battery? I appreciate any input I can get as it seems Harris does not put any information on the web concerning their boats other than marketing information.
(I really dislike having to go through a dealer to get parts and/or information. I'm surprised boat manufacturers don't offer parts/accessories to owners directly.)
