    Anchor & Bow Lights Problem (6 Terminal Rocker Switch)

    I'm having a problem with the anchor & bow lights on a 1993 Boston Whaler Outrage I recently pruchased. I'm suspicious that the wires on the rocker switch may be attached incorrectly. The one position on the switch turns on the bow light - no problem. The other position (NAV Lights - Bow &...
