What are these buttons?

[BrocheN]

This is a 1996 Reinell 184 BRXL. 4.3gs volvo penta cobra sx. These buttons are attached to some sort of switches behind the gauge panel. They are not labeled with anything and I am clueless as to what they do. Can somebody please help? Thanks!

I'm no expert, but they look like circuit breakers to me.

Anyone want to confirm/deny?

Yup you are right circuit breakers

Re: What are these buttons?

So should I be doing anything with them? The white piece in the middle of each can be pushed in. What are their purposes?

It is a reset. Have you ever thrown a breaker at home? Same principal...... some will pop out when shorted or overloaded

Man, you be crazy..... That's the James Bond Series Boat

Left Button......Jet ski in your wake rockets
Middle Button......Smoke for drunk guy in jet boat
Right Button......Power Booster to throw brother-in-law off of tube

Button by key.... Sends sonic wave and makes idiots clear out of landing.

Have you traced the output side of the breakers to see which circuits they protect? I would do that, if I were you...

No need to do anything with them unless you find something not working on your boat then just check those and if you see one sticking out about half inch then push it in.

Well, You may want to find out WHY it popped in the first place. Same principle as fuses. It wouldnt have tripped if not overloaded or shorted.

180 probably intended that, he just forgot...

Always good to find out why things happen. I had mine trip a couple of times on my old SeaRAy. It would happen anytime my helm would get wet so I would keep it dry and never had a problem.
