I'm afraid that you're out of luck as far as a wiring diagram is concerned. I just looked through my manual and there is no such animal. I do have some info on it though:

H. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 11-13-86 O'Day 222
Your O'Day ~222 has a built in 12 volt electrical system for
running lights and interior lights. You will need to supply a marine battery of the "Deep Cycle" type and install it in the battery case that is supplied with the boat and mounted behind the companionway step under the cockpit .
The red wire goes to the positive (+) terminal; the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. You will need a battery charger of some sort (110 volt or an outboard to charge the battery), or you will need to remove the battery after each sail to re-charge it. Be sure that your battery has a full charge before going out to sail. The mast light must be connected by using the deck plug to port side of the mast step. Use the deck plug supplied to connect the male to female socket.
stepping the mast. Be sure to remove this plug when stepping and un-stepping the mast.
Also, keep the cap on, rather than the mast connector
whenever possible, in order to prevent water entering the deck fitting.
On the inside of the boat on on the port aft bulkhead is a
circuit breaker panel with four switches. One for interior lights; one for the running lights (red/green bow light on pulpit; white stern ? light on stern); one spare (for instruments - radio or?); and one for the masthead/anchor light/steaming light. In normal circumstances, you should use at night: (1) While sailing - the running light switch. (2) While under power or sailed power - the running light switch should be on and the three-position masthead light should be the steaming-light position. three-position masthead light
( 3 ) While at anchor at night - the three position mast head light should be in the anchor-light position. Be sure to check all electrical connections periodically for corrosion or loose connections. Be sure to disconnect the battery before working on any electric circuit.
If ANY circuit breaker trips itself off, always investigate the
cause of the overload and correct any deficiencies before repositioning the breaker to the "ON" position.
Foggy,
The wiring on this boat is pretty simple and straight forward. You have one circuit breaker for interior lights. Then you have one breaker for your running lights which consists of a wire to both, your bow light and stern light with a common ground wire going to both. Then, you have a breaker for your mast head anchor light with the ground wire. It's just a matter of ringing the wires out with an ohms meter and marking them. You have two posts near the electric panel. One is a common ground or minus which goes to the minus post on your battery. The other post is a positive which goes to the plus side of your battery. What you could do is try to draw up your own diagram based on the info given. Enlist the help of a friend who is knowledgeable on 12 volt DC circuits. Think of the battery positive side going to one side of the breaker, as the "Line" side, and the other side of the same breaker going to a light, as the "Load" side. All ground wires or minuses, are tied together and go to the minus post of the house battery.

A Bimini top is going to depend on whether you can relocate the Main sheet to a traveler near your companionway. If you mount a stern rail similar to mine, I would suggest that you mount a rail mounted Bimini. I'd love to have a Bimini top for my boat, but,--I don't got no money for one right now. :bang:
If you're interested in getting some dimensions of the stern rail from Trinkka, you'll have to wait a few weeks when I uncover her. The wiring should keep you busy for a while. Good luck!

Joe...thanks so much. You are so very helpful.
I'll wait!!
In the meantime, I still need a wiring diagram.
My 222, REPRISE, will not be uncovered for another month at the earliest.We have serious winters ion Nova Scotia.
Again, thanks.

The only guy who may have an O'Day 222 wiring diagram, is Rudy Nickerson of D&R Marine. http://www.drmarine.com/ You could try giving him a call.

There is another place to get all ofthe original plans for the Oday 222 it is the Mystic Seaport museum in Mystic Ct.. I had called them in the past and they sent me a full list of all their drawings. I would forward it to you but I crashed my other computer and lost the file. You need to talk to them during the week in normal bus hours. Good luck.
Peter,
Ed K. had mentioned this on the forum just recently. They may have something on wiring, also.
