Bridge heat wires will be number wire number 4 and 5 in the red layer of the festoon cable coming into the J3 box. Tbar heat will be wire numbers 9 and 10 from the yellow layer festoon coming into the J3 box.

The Tbar heat is 24vac, no need to worry about polarity.

For the bridge heat, 220v hook the two heaters in series

Everything right were u said
Rails are hot but not tbars or undercarriage because they didn't run a wire from jo to 12-1 13-1 or from there to anything hot in jo. So ran a 2 wires from jo to j2 and we have heat. Next question can I heat the virtual treadle and sonar eyes by just plugging to same wago.

Thanks for the help

The VT and parking eyes get their power from the vtx box where the eyes and sonar run to. The heat is controlled by a thermostat on the bottom of the box. All of these heaters are 24 VAC. If the wires are there, and the thermostat is not working, you could just use the 24 VAC terminals and have the heaters on all of the time. This would be easier than running from the J2 box.

Roger that.
New delema the bridge heat I have is 220 all the new is 120v.
Is there 220v tape available I can't seem to find
Or do I need to rewire to get 120v ? And how would I do that
Thanks
