Navigation Light Switch Replacement
Kevin,
The navigation lights on my old boat stopped working.
The rocker on/off/on switch is bad. It has four .25″ spade conectors in the back. To replace it, I bought a DPDT rocker switch with six spade connectors. I put the boat wiring in the same locations as the old one but it does not work. What is the proper position for the wires?

Bob,
You will need to add two jumper wires to make your new switch work properly with your boat wiring.
- Power – connect to one of the center spade connectors.
- Jumper wire # 1 – connect from center spade connect above to the other spade connector
- Stern light – Gray/blue – connect to top right post
- Jumper wire # 2 – connect from top right post above to bottom right post
- Bow light – Gray/green – connect to bottom left post
Hope this helps,
Kevin
