Suppose I could but can't imagine both switches going out at once

You have seperate switch for anchor and navagation lights? Is the fuse the same for both?<br />Are dash light tied to navagation lights and do they work?<br /><br />Easy way to find problem is to start at the switch. Check for 12 volts coming into the switch. No 12 volts check back thru fuse to battery. Many boats have a fuse for each switch but also have a few master fuses that feed power up to the panel. If have 12 volts at switch then checking wireing out to the lights. Some boats use the push on connectors on back of switches and also for ground. When one of these fall off can affect a lot of things because many times jumpered from switch to switch.
