    Well checked it all out all went well all came on then one massive short from the bec by the connection block and as we say in Cornwall its all Fried, so ill have to start again best way I suppose this time new wiring pleased that you all took an interest takes more this to offend me, with out knowledge come errors Its all been a learning curve with this hobby, But without this website I would have given, up my local club was not much help ether no wonder people give up, my other interest comes from the 16mm railway side and they was only to keen to help the novice as did my car clan but comes to boats its๐Ÿ˜ฎO would not have done that etc

    in answer to your question these arrows go to the esc and the other to the rudder then under green tape is a repair as the power supply to the main switch melted hence all the damage the power to the switch was from the motor side of the esc and too the left contact ive tested the bec all seems fine and the lights do work if i connect direct very bright!

    Here is some more photos of the installation it has big leds and the first photo shows under the top section 2nd is the contacts there are a red and green wire that melted the two loose wires was connected to the switch and the red and back was connected to the esc
    Or the tittle should be when it goes well south for our northern hemisphere members

    the power to to the radar and lights all comes from the 4xaa batterys its beeen suggested that it should come from the esc via switch

    the main battery powers the esc and motor and the other the rudder its fan and radar is from a separate battery this makes contact once the top is in place I have tested the lights separately with a higher voltage and seem to have them working what i don't understand is where they get the power from

    the contacts are not spring loaded they are led and wired in parallel battery is fine one suggestion is to fit a switch as the power goes from a separate battery for the esc fan and radar motor
