Broken wire to gas solenoid

[Andreas T]

The "+" wire to the gas solenoid in the propane locker is broken, and I can't find the routing of the wire from the panel to the stern of my Hunter 336. Anybody had this problem before ?

It happens all the time in a variety of equipment. One accepted way of dealing with this is to run a new wire along a route of your choosing.

Ray, I guess that's what I'll do.

The problem is the 'route of my choosing': The wiring on my H336 from the panel to the stern seems to run in a tube but I only see the outlet. Any tips how to run another wire in there ?

I don't know what your conduit looks like but here are a couple of suggestions. you might try an electricians fish tape this is a long piece of flat metal that you push through the conduit you then attach the new wire and pull it through. It might be helpful to use some lube designed for this. One other way is to attach a new wire and a string to an existing wire and pull them through. you can then use the string to pull the first wire back through.

Have to postpone this to next weekend but I'll try. Thanks !
