Re: question on these buttons

but they act like switches

there are no other buttons, switches or anything.

Re: question on these buttons

Actually, those are combination thermal breakers/switches. If you push it in the selection gets power but if it's shorted they pop. Pressing them a second time releases them. You can replace them with toggles and a fuse panel or inline fuses if you want.

The pump man and pump auto are for the bilge pump if auto is selected the pump will come on automatically as needed. If the manual is selected it will run until the button is pushed again and released. They're sort of unreliable because they wear out and won't stay in.

Nav Lights, = red/green bow light, dash lights, anc light (long pole with white light). Must be on while running at night.
Ach light,= sometimes dash lights, not needed, as you are anchored, anc light, when anchored at night ( must be on).
Accessory= anything, as in "ACCESSORY"

If your replacing the switches, I like the ones with the breakers, and switch, inline. That way, you dont have to use a seperate fuse panel.
