Hello, I have a 1998 Crownline 238 deck boat with lighted switches. None of the courtesy lights work so I am assuming I have a fuse issue. Everything else on the panel works fine along with all other lights. The boat has 3 courtesty lights which don't, the switch doesn't light up so I assume I have a power issue. I can not find the fuse or fuse panel on this boat. Does anyone have an idea where it would be located? Yesterday I tore into the dash but seems like an awful lot of work to replace a fuse? There is one circut breaker by the ing switch but thats it? There has to be a fuse panel or inline fuse someplace on this boat, can you help?

Chet,

Crownline generally puts the fuse panel at the helm below the instrument panel. Look for a snap-on curtain or panel held on with several screws to gain access. With a 13 year old boat it's had plenty of time to develop a little corrosion or blow a few bulbs, don't assume, use a voltmeter to check to see if you have 12 volts at the bulbs and a good ground.

Thanks, I pulled a complete light out yesterday and the bulb was fine. Today I'm taking a tester and going to check for power at the lights. Seems odd the lighted switch isn't lighting. Thats why i'm guessing it's a fuse too...Where does the lighted switch get power from? Thanks for the help.

Yes, you are correct. The panel was a snap on panel in the head (Porta Pottie ) cabinet. Both the courtesy lights and the head blower didn't have fuses in them. I temporary installed a 20 am fuse into both and they started working. Thanks!
