I haven't been able to determine the purpose of this switch. Everything seems to operate whether the switch is up or down. Does anyone know about this?

Probably nothing hooked to it. Most boats have an empty switch like that so you can hook up something of your own.

Thanks Don. That makes allot of sense. How do you know this? Are you a mechanic? Just an interested boater.

If you can look at the back of the switch there is probly just one wire attached to it, connect what you want to the other pole.

Check to see if you have any lights that do not work, thats what our switch turned on.
