Default 1996 shabah 180 dash switches

I can't figure out what the 2 acc switchs do on dash? The other 2 switches are bilge and courtesy lightss
Far as I can tell the 2 acc turn nothing on?
They look to be hook into wire harness but do nothing
Where do the wires go?

I want to hook boat plug light up and want to use one of those switches.
Do they have prerun dead end power wires run to front or rear of boat that you can tap into if needed?

    Hey Pole,
    I just went through it with mine. I believe they could be your Navi lights and front light(forgot what the two headlights are called..oh, docking.) Anyhow, crawl under with 12v wire tester and see which lights it up and then follow. Tedious but worth it.

    I got screw driver out and took switch panel off from dash. The 2 acc switches are wired into harness for power in, but have no wire going back out. just a empty tang on each switch that has power when switched on.

    one switch has heavier gauge wire feeding it then the other.

    one switch must be light duty and one heavier duty?

    I got it figured out.
