    If not, one problem I haven't been able to resolve is the radio, it is a factory installed unit in the glove box but power isn't getting to it. It uses the original wiring harness which goes down the port side, across the back and then back up to the dash on the starboard side. I figured power would come off one of the accessory switches but I have power coming off both of them. I also have good power coming off the main power switch. Not sure where I'm losing the power. Where does the radio power come from? I couldn't find any fuses in the parts of the wiring harness I could see.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I finally found some schematics to go by and found my problem was a short. The wiring diagram was close but not exact because of the options I had on board my specific boat. I tried to narrow the short down but couldn't due to not being able to access the whole run. It had to be a wire to wire short because of the boat being fiberglass and no chassis ground. I ended up pulling a new run and and took the Nav/Light switch out and cleaned up the terminal connections and installed a inline fuse to match the amps being drawn. All is good in the neighborhood now and the cooler is being filled with nice Bull Reds here on the Gulf Coast. If you have good knowledge of Marine electrical systems and how they work using positive polarity instead of negative then everything will become more clear. The best bet is to get the right gauge of wire and and make things simple by hooking the radio up not using previous installed wiring. Once you have it working then fish the new wire through the hull where needed and check the amps being drawn then install a inline fuse to match and your local marine store or Carol at candoparts@yahoo.com can hook you up with any Carling Switches you may need to match your switch panel on board. Hope this helps... JJ

    Interesting. I have the same boat, second owner, but the original was my father-in-law. Wonder if one of the radios was dealer installed. Mine was always direct wired to the starting battery with a fuse, but no switch (Yes ring terminals stacked with the battery cables). It always had very poor reception and never got used. Just a couple years ago I took it out and found the antenna wires rolled up in a ball in the glovebox behind the radio. Unrolled them and voila, radio reception.

    I just bought a 1996 Stratos 268 VDC and I would like to replace the carpeting over the winter. I thought I would rewire while the decks are off. Would you have wiring schematics for this boat.

    Hey Gents,
    I have a 2005 200 Pro XL that I'm pretty positive has some crossed wires from the previous owners. Before I go by the initial wiring diagram provided on the first page does anyone know for sure those still apply to the 200? I spoke with Stratos and she said she could only go back to 2006 on diagrams and such. I appreciate you all in advance.

    I sent you a schematic.

    The 2006 brochure indicates that the 294 does not have compartment/courtesy lights as standard eqipment, but it was an available option.

    Is this your helm?

    Anyone know what happen to the photos in the OP? They appear all blurred out with the Photobucket logo on them and you cant make anything out. Could really use a schematic for a 2005 Stratos 201 Pro XL. Trying to do some wire clean up on my from the previous owners hack job and I am a bit confused.

    Thanks in advance!

    96 Stratos 201 pro xl
    -the console at the bow has dual DPDT switches (1 for port side aerator and 1 for starboard side aerator)
    -in between these switches is a SPDT switch for a timer (2,4,6 minutes) equipped w/ a shotgun style 4th generation*** timer module
    -starboard side works just fine when flipped in the down position to manual
    -port side seems to be wired incorrectly, I’m getting feedback when flipped in the manual position
    -if I put power to the switch I can get the aerator to run just fine

    need help w/ a wiring schematic/drawing for a 96 Stratos 201pro xl
    again (2) DPDT switches w/ a SPDT Timer switch (4th generation/4 wires coming from the shotgun style harness leading into the timer switch and I believe port side switch.

    thanks!

    1988 Stratos VT200 Rocket Bass Boat

    Anyone have any information on a 1988 Stratos VT 200 Rocket Bass Boat? I have one and looking to find a place for parts and diagrams or any information on my boat. I've attached some photos of her. She is in pretty good shape considering her age.

    Thanks for anyone's help!

    I've sent you an email. I bought the boat 2 months ago an didnt have time to test everything.
    So assumed wrongly that all was working correct.
    Looks like a half blind monkey got an idea they new what they were doing and made a mess of things under the hood.
    If I let a car leave like that I'd shoot myself.
    I'm not sure how bad it is yet but I might just end up wiring the hole boat over again.
