Unkown wires behind switchpanel SO 42i (NMEA?)

[tjurd]

Hi All,

I found two wires behind the switchpanel of our Sun Odyssey 42i that i cant make out what it is for.

One of the two wires has the letters NMEA in it but i doubt it is for NMEA data. Perhaps for powering NMEA? Or NMEA 2000 backbone is now powered through the autopilot.

I have the same wires on our 419 and I believe at one point I traced them to a wire harness labelled PC and so I think these are for some sort of PC interface that is an option on some jeanneau models.

If everything on the boat is otherwise working OK, my advice would be to tape them up with “Unknown” labels, forget about them and go sailing! 😊
