F-36 flybridge helm switches

Post by MSPG8 »

I just aquired a '74 F-36. The flybridge helm switches aren't marked. Are they in the same as the ones above the lower helm (and in the same order)?

Not the same order on my F36 and the lower helm has at least 4 more switchs on mine ( 3 for the wippers and 1 for the fresh water pump ) maybe more that I cant remember

Contact Beacon marine at the link at top of this page, supply them your Hull number and they should have your electrical drawings.

all those are on both pannels I was listing one that were only on the lower.

you can try pulling them and see what turns on , one switch will have 2 postions that will be your nav/ancor lights , you may also have 1 extra switch thats not wired ( mine did )


I can give you a list and order of mine but they could have changed in the few years difference or by people working on our boats over the last 30+ years . a diagram will help as all the wires are labeled ( numbered)

Welcome to the forum. I have the entire upper instrument panel left over after my repower if you need any parts off it.
