Helm Switches 270 - 03

[dfortier]

The helm switches are not well marked….some of the lettering has faded off and I’m trying to determine what one of the switches does. It’s a Fiesta Vee 270 – 2003. It’s the 3rd switch from the left…anyone have any ideas? Cheers!

I have the smae boat and mine is faded to. Why don't you turn it on and see what happens? I believe that one may be your bilge pump.

Thanks...I've tried turning it on and it doesn't seem to control anything obvious. There's a clicking sound when you hit the switch up and or down. And its not the Nav lights...

Here's how mine go in order from L ~ R if I remember correctly;
Nav lights, cockpit lights, bilge pump, galley pump, engine hatch, cockpit lights, wiper, horn, transom lights, accessories

I double checked myself on my boat today and realized I was missing a switch. I have a total of 10 switches and the 3rd from the left isn't marked and I never used it. Its the same type switch as the engine hatch but doesn't work anything. Hhuuummmmmmm

on my 06 270, the 3rd from the left is the dimmed switch for the panel instrument lights...

on my 06 270, the 3rd from the left is the dimmed switch for the panel instrument lights...

Wow nice so you can actually dim the panel lights?? That's a pretty dope feature! I'm going to try that one out tomorrow night!

[dfortier]

Bingo!! its a dimmer switch....thanks joeblade I can finally sleep again.

Are you looking for replacement switches or labels?? I've had a tough time trying to find an online dealer for the Carling switches with the correct labels and colors... Let us know if you do....

Glad is worked out..

Thanks..will let you know if I find any. Cheers!

Found a couple - you might have to call to place an order but they are available - depends on what you are looking for...

Saw on another forum that if you call Carling they will give you the parts number and info but you need to go through a distributor (they do not sell direct). I would give them a call and then call CMS (or order online) - other boards stated that as a positive experience with both vendors.

It would be cool if we had a thread on here with a list of the part numbers for the various rocker switches...

Perfect, thanks!
