1993 Adventure Switch Panel

[johnh]

I just bought a used 1993 Adventure.
On the switch block there are 2 rows of switches for nav. lights, bilge, cockpit lights, accessory etc.
Beneath those 2 rows are 2 more rows of rubber knobs. What are those rows of nobs?

Thank you
John

Those are fuses/breakers. If you don't feel anything inside them, everything is good. When a breaker "blows", it will "pop" out a little stick. Push it back in. You can unscrew one of the rubber pieces to get a better look at it.

Those breakers are cool. Saw mine in action for the first time over the 4th. I accidentally hit the wiper switch when my boat cover was still over the bow of the boat and the windshield. The wiper got stuck midway. Removed the boat cover and hit the switch - nothing. Wiper would not work. I thought damn, age has finally got to this sucker (boat is a 1994). About 5 minutes later it dawned on me. Check the breaker, dummy. Sure enough, felt the rubber nipple and could feel that it tripped. Pressed it back down and hit the switch. Presto. Wipers on. At least I know they work now. First time in 2 1/2 years with this boat that I tripped a breaker.
