Novurania tender wiring diagram

[Westfield 11]

Does anyone have a source for a wiring diagram for a 430 tender? All of my accessory circuit is dead, the motor starts and runs, the gauges all work, but the VHF, Garmin and bilge pumps are inop. The bilge pumps are on a separate switched circuit than the accessories and none of the breakers have popped.

I took the console apart and found several inline tube fuses and one 15a blade fuse and all were good visually. The 15a blade looked a bit overheated so I replaced it with no change. I’m going to replace all of the inline fuses today, “just in case”.

It sure seems like I am overlooking a major circuit protector somewhere on the boat......

My RIB (not a Novurania) has a battery switch under one of the bench seats that has to be on. I’m gonna guess you already checked that but just in case. My boat acts exactly as you describe with that switch in the off position.

You re probably gojng to have to get a meter and trace. A lot of accessories are dealer or owner installed and wiring will vary

That’s what I was afraid of: it’s a rats nest in there! Fortunately the console easily splits in two at the middle to expose the whole sordid mess.
I’m going to give the folks who sold and rigged it back in 2012 a call to see if they have any idea.

Unfortunately most dinghy manufacturers don’t set up the electricals correctly... they put a cheap fuse block somewhere and rat nest wiring. These boats are low to the water, get a lot of spray and corrosion sets in.
