99 Pursuit express 3000 stereo wiring

[Sharkguy05]

Hey Everyone,

I have a 99 pursuit express 3000. There has never been a stereo installed. I found where the wiring go to above the hanging locker and found the 2 speaker locations in the cabin. I could not find a wiring diagram as to which wires are what for the stereo. I do know which 2 are for the cabin speakers. Does anyone have any wiring info for the stereo and also is there other locations on the vessel in the helm and cockpit where there maybe speaker wiring or such? I looks as though I will probably have to run my own wiring and cut holes though to me. Thanks for the help!

Not sure on pre wires but I have 2 speakers on rear deck 2 in helm area and 2 down below. Amp is behind the aft dinette seat. I found my power for the stereo and amp comes from the breaker on the tabs bock that is for the forward and aft bilge pumps(need to get those moved still just haven’t had time.

Mine came wired exactly as Woodworker described, Im thinking your's will be wired for speakers from the factory. take the deck plates off the side in the helm area, if they are there you may be able to see them (transparent green in color)

If you do have to run wires you won't need to drill holes, there is plenty of room to push the wires through behind the 5' air con hose on the starb side.

Running the new wires thru the engine room will be challenging.

What in the world would cause them to pull power from the bilge pump breakers and through the stereo breaker on the panel. I still have yet to figure that one out…

Where did you move the power wires to? Did you put a new breaker in tabs box? It is on my list of things to get done it just fell down the list with the transmission project this winter

I installed a multi pump system, power comes from the main terminals on the tabs box, through 3 large circuit breakers (one for each battery) into a separate panel with individual circuit breakers for each pump.

Its all located where the battery charger was originally installed from new

So I was looking to get a wiring diagram with colors per say. My boat didn't have a radio in it so there is no amp or anything. The red and black above the hanging locker I have determined are power and ground. Red goes to stereo breaker. Plus the 2 speaker wires there I assume are for the cabin speakers. (havent toned them out yet) Not sure what the blue and yellow wire are for. I found the blue wire behind the dinnette seat under the breaker panel. there is a yellow wire there but does not tone to behind the stereo. The black is there also which I need to add to the ground bus. There is a bundle of 4 speaker wires there also to who I assume are pre-wired to somewhere in the boat. I know there is 1 wire above the port side drink holder. Just need to find the other 3.... So question is what is the blue and yellow wire for? I assume amp and where does the yellow wire go? I assume they ran the speaker wires to this area bc that is where the amp usually goes?

Where in the aft cockpit are the speakers located? so when I cut a hole I can be close.... picture would be good

You can see the speakers in the pics.

If the wiring was pre installed
