    Mystery switches

    I have two toggle switches that energize when the IGN key is on but I have no idea what they are connected to, if they are original or added. The black knob is a dimmer for the gauges. They have wires connected that disappear and I can't find out where they go.

    Engine Alignment?

    Just a thought, you may want to mic the alignment tool, according to some threads I have read, they can be out of spec from the manufacturer. I put an oil drain hose on my last boat and loved it.

    Sailing was my first adventure with boats and will always be a love but sadly I have not kept up with current stuff. That small boat could be rigged in several ways so when you get into it I will offer what I can. For now clean it up and check all the rigging fittings, and see what you have.
