chad.mcvay, congratulations!

Thanks for attaching the photos. Those wires were damaged at the storage cover hinge, where there is some flexing and pulling. We see a lot of hydraulic hoses fail in the same area (line 71 or line 72 going to the rear bow lock cylinder).

Judging from the photo, either the wires were zip-tied very tightly together, or something pulled very hard on that stretch of the harness. Did strands of the green wire (rear bow latch open sensor) and the brown wire (ground) actually make contact and thus give the controller the signal that the rear bow lock was open?
