Boat Lighting Problem - short

I had a short after wiring my new led trailer lights on. And after dealing with many wire issues over the years, if you can't find it simply by checking the wire, then your better off just throwing a new set of wires on. Its not very expensive and can save a lot of headaches IMO

Thanks for the help.  Thats what I was thinking.  Its a 2007 suntracker.  I have a fuse box.  If there was a short, you'd think I'd be blowing fuses.

I'm in V8, how about you?

You should be able to take even a cheap Radio Shack current meter and put it in series with each individual wire from each switch. I'm guessing that you'll find one circuit that draws a ton of current. Its obviously after a switch on one of the circuits or it would drain the battery without the lights on. I'll bet that you'll find a pinched wire somewhere, especially if all of the lights work. Can you turn on each switch one at a time and see the other lights get dim when you hit a certain switch? To drain a battery in an hour is a lot of draw. As previously stated, you may feel one wire that is warm or hot. Pontoons do not have complicated wiring, shouldn't be a big deal.

Look for the dim bulb and work your way back.
What have you mounted/re-attached with a screw or clamp?
What else is on light circuit?
If you have a volt meter in dash look at it without engine running, voltage should go up when running if it does not go up much have alternator tested.
Turn switches on and watch for voltage drop.
