After a day on the boat, have found that Tach, gas, and hour meters are not getting power. The glow plug, start button, and key have power so engine turns over and runs. I noticed two wire harness are involved so I understand why engine runs and nothing else works on panel. Did find a bad inline fuse, replaced and still nothing. Looked in westerbeke manel and think there is a 20 amp and 10 amp inline fuse I could not locate. I believe it maybe a fuse or band wire. No corrosion was found on any meters. Would love to figure out a remedy for my electrical problem.

I have a 2003 B331 since 2010. Early on I discovered several of the ring connectors on the engine wiring harness had separated from the wire. Actually caused two separate instances of the engine failing. The wires on my engine don't appear to be very high quality - little or no tin in them. And the heat shrink holds the connector to the wire so it is very difficult to determine if it has separated. I finally changed most of the connectors and did not use heat shrink. The engine has been very reliable this year.
