We recently bought and started working on a Larson Senza, 89 I believe. I've been helping my Dad try to get it up and running, I've got a little better electrical/electronics background than he does, so I'm stuck finding solutions to our problems!
The switches in the boat are not only faded real bad, but some of them aren't working. Rather than replace one or two, we're going to replace them all. We've replaced the trim tab switches, but the others are puzzling me. There are no part numbers or anything other than colors next to pins. All but 1 are illuminated, and the non-illuminated switch is the only one I know for sure I'll wind up ordering the right one!
Can anyone clear up the marine switches? For example, the navigation lights switch is on-off-on, that I know. There is a ground on the top left, and a purple wire on the bottom left. They both appear to be grounded, however the switches I find online don't match up. I can find 2,3,4 or 6 pin switches, but the Navigation is a 5 pin. The illuminated switches all have the black ground and the purple, which appears to be a ground. My assumption is it's for the panel illumination? Anyhow does anyone have or can lead me to a good source of how to find switches for this thing? I've searched and searched with no luck. All appear to be SPST with the exception of one, a SPDT, but the 2 pins that appear to be grounds throw me off. One would be a ground, the other? Once again the wire's purple if it helps. Thanks!
