  • Unknown panel switches

    on my 3870, I have a small switch panel at the fly bridge helm that seems largely inoperable. There are two push buttons, one hooded and labeled “horn “ although I hear only gurgling when pushed, and another labeled “accessory 2, “ with no apparent action when pushed...another horn perhaps?
    There are 4 2-position switches...nav lights , wiper ( no wipers on fly bridge soft enclosure) pump ( I thought this might be the aft manual bilge pump but no effect) and “accessory 1”...I have a currently inoperable spotlight that might be connected here as the control panel for that is not in evidence...any clues on how these switches and buttons should work would be appreciated

    on my 4087, the push button switch operates the air horn, sounds like your needs repair? The accessory switch is an extra, no connections when viewed from under the dash.

      I have a 1986 3870. The switch panels on mine are set up as follows-
      Left Panel- starting on left side - Horn, Blower, Bilge Forward, Bilge Aft, Accy. 1.
      Right Panel- Accy. 2 , Accy. 3, Court Lights, Anchor light, Nav. Lights.

      The Accy switches can be hooked up to anything such as electronics , extra accessories , etc.
      These switches are available at most boat shops. A few of them on my boat were bad when I got it. They are easy to change.
      If you look under the dash you can see which ones are hooked up- some may not be in use.
