Default What does this Z210 switch do?

I just bought a 94 210 talari with the 5.7 merc. we love the boat. I have searched the forum and cannot find any info. On the left side of the steering wheel under the depth finder is a switch that turns to 3 different locations. straight up, 90 degrees to right, straight down. What does this switch do? thanks.

    I believe that's your navigation and anchor light switch, but hopefully one of our members with a mid 90's boat can confirm this!

    I have a smaller '95 Talari. I concur with ShabahZ250. From what I can tell, the previous owner replaced the OEM switch in that same place with a two position toggle switch that works the lights.

    My 94 Z210 actually has 2 identical switches on the lower left side of the dash, the one to the far left is the nav/off/anchor 3 position switch but the other one seems to have no useful function in life and its all oem switches..any ideas?

    For some reason I thought the other switch was the blower. If it's not working, DO NOT use your boat at all until you replace your blower. A replacement blower is about $20 and takes about 15 minutes to swap out with your old one. A small investment and a few minutes of work is worth keeping your boat from catching fire, but more importantly, keeping your family safe.
