When took possession of my "unsold" 2009 278 in 2014, I had loads of electrical issues. I forgot about one until now; the cable labelled "house battery" (or similar) was connected to the engine battery terminal on the battery switch, and vice versa ! One of the reasons I decided to rewire the whole mess of battery related wiring in and around the engine compartment.
In 2008 to 2010 FW had severe labour issues ( I found a " what to do if you are made redundant" letter to employees in my boat. QC was sketchy !
Hey Graham,
I had some incorrect plumbing on my boat I discovered after I took possession. Also found various installation instructions, wood cutoffs, a lot of sawdust and pieces of wire in my forward bilge and under cabin steps. So much crap that it would have plugged up my forward bilge pump. I remember you posting about the multi-pin plug and wiring harness located in the forward bilge. I had some electrical issues and figured out from your posting that this harness was the problem, a multi-pin plug sitting in water at the bottom of the forward bilge, WTF!!
