another "what is this" thread

What are these 6 or 7 small round rubber things lined up to the far right of the dash. They don't feel like buttons and I've never noticed them light up. It's a 2002 that I bought used and didn't the explination.

lets try the pic now.

Those are circut breakers that if there is a short they pop , and to reset you just push them in.

Did you get your boat from Tige Water sports?
If so was it Tom or Dan that sold it to you?

They should have shown you everything in the boat before you left. Heck Tom took me out to Ellsinore and made sure that I knew had to use everything.

I bought it from a private party in AZ. We test drive it and the guy showed me everything but with so much to learn (1st boat) in a few hours I forgot what he said about those. Each one of them is labelled with a word (blower, 12V, etc.) I slightly remember him saying they were tiny lights that would turn on when that item was switched on but i've never seen any light up.

I didn't know what else to call it so I called it a button but it actually seems more like a waterproof rubber cover for whatever is under it.

FIC sounds pretty confident that they're circuit breakers. Do you have this same dash?

[spharis]

You can buy boots to put on the breakers. That is probably what the manf did.

The lights are in the actual switches (on the dash just above your steering wheel and below the instrument panel). As previously, the rubber thingies are circuit breakers.

I have the same dash as you.

FIC knows what he's talking about, he fixes them for a living.

Thanks guys. I'm glad I found out before I actually needed it.
