    Wiring schematic

    I just installed a New Dimension tower. I purchased the tower with the anchor light and I would like to wire it in. Can someone tell me where I can find a wiring diagram and service manual for a 99 SN.
    I contacted White Lake Marine but it was no longer available.

    There should be a hot light wire in the dash cluster that you can tap off of. Any ground will work. If should be able to pay off the wire coming off of the switch in fact.

    From there just fish wires up the tower and you should be good to go.

      Thanks for the response. I’m not sure if I’m reading right... “hot light wine” can you explain

        If you have a meter or a probe you can turn the switch on to anchor then probe the contacts on the switch. The terminal that has power is the anchor light circuit for the tower light. You can then either tap into the circuit there or trace the wire back to the terminal block (much better and more professional way) and run your wire from the terminal block to the tower. Your switch panel should look something like the one below.

        Another option would be to go to the light socket at the stern and trace the wire run in the gunnel to the tower leg and tap into the circuit there. This may be the easiest especially if the light socket is on the same side as the wiring going the light on the tower.

          I meant the "Hot Wire" for that particular light.

            Thanks, turning it on from the anchor switch was the goal. I’ll definitely post a picture when I’m done.

              I have successfully used a lightweight string and shop vac to pull the string through a tower before. Then you can attach wires and pull

                That’s a good idea and I’m actually going to use that trick when installing the tower speakers. The guys at new dimension actually ran a string through the tower for the light. If I would’ve thought about it when I was installing the tower, I would’ve used that same string to run the speaker wires
