Default EC12 Electrical

I have a Dumas EC12 that has been sitting for years and never sailed. I was not the origional builder so I have a few questions on the wiring. The boat is old so it had the old style futaba connectors which I switched over so I could use a modern reciver. During this process a 20 year old soldering job on the on-off switch gave out and i wasnt able to see how it was hooked up (of course all the wiring was meticulously hidden). The sail control is a Dumas bang-bang (non proportional) swing arm setup. I think its a Dumas 3701. I checked out ec12.info and found wiring diagrams for an RMG winch. Will this diagram work for the Dumas sail control? The boat isnt set up like any I have seen pictures of. It has one high torque servo for the rudder and another high torque servo that activates a three position switch that is somehow wired to the sail control motor and i assume the on-off switch where i guess it gets power from. Does anyone run a setup like this and might be so kind as to point me in the right direction with the wiring? I was going to run a one battery pack setup but now i am considering using two batterie packs. I wont be racing but just using it for fun and I would like it to be reliable. I am in the Stamford, CT area if anyone knows of any clubs around here.

Thanks,
Matt
