    "Fuel selector?" You have more than one tank?

    I suspect that's your nav/anchor lights switch. I know I've seen others comment here about a three-position rotary switch for that purpose. If so: One position would be "off," one position would be nav lights (red/green on the bow, the white 360 degree anchor light [aka: light-onna-stick] at the stern), and the 3rd position would be just the anchor light.

    Hi pimpadelic,

    As SEMIJim said, the left rotary switch is for the nav/anchor/dash lights. When centered, all lights off, now depending on the wiring, left will turn on the Anchor light only and right will turn on the front Nav, Anchor and dash lights or visa versa.
