This is not a photo of the wiring system from an old Triton:
Neither is this.
However, reality was not all that much different.
The original wiring system of a 1960s era Triton was very simple. Several decades of owner's wiring additions had made things somewhat more complex.
One ambitious owner had made several wiring additions; a couple of engine gauges, a couple of 12V outlets, a couple of electronic (old) devices. In an effort to save money he bought one spool of wire. That is, one spool, one color of wire. All new wires were green.
Wow. Power wires (+), negative wires (-), sending wires, all wires. The result- a user unfriendly setup not ideal for electrical system troubleshooting. In addition, there were other wiring that ran to long ago discarded equipment.
The solution- rip it all out and start over.
