Hello All,
I am working on a 1998 21ft Bayliner Trophy. I am trying to identify the dash switches which are either unlabeled or faded by the sun.
I have two rows of five switches. Five on the port side of the dash and five on the starboard side. They sit below a tach, fuel gage, voltmeter and a speedometer.
I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help with the switch functions.
Be Well

Have you actually tried each switch individually to see what turns on? Some times that works well. Obviously it doesn't solve every switch but it can identify some. Then you can either trace the unidentified switch wires to see where they go or if they are even connected. Make sure the fuses or circuit breakers are working first. Just an idea.

gm280,
of course I tried each one but only two had any visible or audible response. I am trying to keep the customers cost down by not having to trace each switch. I thought if someone else had an identical boat they could easily identify the switch functions. So much easier and faster
