can bus wire colors

Anyone have a diagram of maliview wiring? Or what color can bus wires are? 2021 23lsv. Looking to add some underwater lights to be controlled  by factory panel.

There are two CAN bus circuits, the wiring is normally blue and white or green and yellow.  If you are planning on connecting underwater lights to the CAN bus, I think you are really barking up the wrong tree.  DO NOT cut, splice, or modify the boat wiring harness.

The boat is already pre-wired for underwater lights and the wiring and plugs are labeled and found on the B2 transom harness.  Each connector is a twin Delphi weatherpack with a blue/yellow and a black wire.  I would recommend only installing the factory underwater light from Malibu.  If you use another type of underwater light, you will need to get a wiring plug, inline fuse, relay, and do some of your own wiring to make it work correctly.

Make sure your boat has the optional Power Module #3 that is located in the observer storage by the battery switch wiring and breakers.  It is needed to control options from the touch screen like the docking lights, underwater lights, heater, seat heater, etc...

Thanks for the useful info, I appreciate it

Are you seeking the CAN Bus so you can connect the external RGB controller that would be interfaced with the screen? This would be the only reason to need the CAN. For single color LEDs, you just need to find the pre-wired harness at the transom. Just make sure your lights are not exceeding the capacity of what the factory intended on the underwater light circuit.

Is this possible?
