I have a 1976 tri cabin. have couple of questions. cant get my 12v interior lights to work, is there a master switch? when I turn on sink water pump at switch on panel, red light blinks and pump clicks. does tank need to be full for pump to activate? also. I have removed rear toilet, how do I work the large blue valves below salon floor that go to holding tank, do both need to be open? thanks for any help.

my interior lights did not work on my F28. Traced it to simply a bad fuse. A fan was running off the same circuit and when all on caused overload. Bought a new fan, and change bulbs to LED Festoon type for low current draw. Replaced bad fuse and voila.

My F32 has master switches for just about everything ( see left side of panel in picture) This is an 88' so don't know what to expect on 76

Is that your switch box over the dinette? Mine is in the same place, but on the other side under the helm.

Finding out I may have a "only one like it"
Story that has been explained to me is the boat was ordered with no lower helm ( Bar configuration ) and at the last minute a change order was made for a lower helm. Seems I have an international series lower station also.
They must have switched things around a little. ( I am up in Kewaunee if you ever get that way. )

Fishing is pretty much all we use the boat for. Our season was good, and September was wide open. ( you guys left some Coho's for us!!! ) Pretty much every trip was limits as long as we could get out.
