New Boat...Couple Easy Questions

[daarnold82]

I finally have a boat that isnt older than I am!

If someone wouldnt mind, please look at the picture, and tell me what the switch on the far right next to the cig lighter does. If I flip it it makes a buzzing noise. Im new to switches, my old boat was start it and hope not to be stranded.

Also, question about my '02 Suzuki DF50 motor. The recommended Fram PH3614 (threads 3/4-16) is too big to fit with the motor shrouds on. However, a Fram PH6607 does fit and its threads are 20mm x 1.5mm. This equals 0.78 inches. It threads just fine, is this ok to use? I hope so, because it is the filter that was on the motor when I bought it! Many Thanks

Well the switch looks like its for water pressure, not sure what it does but this is what i based it off of ..... I'm going to defer to the engine experts on the filter.. good luck!


Edit: I became curious... the water pressure switch is to gain pressure in fresh water systems to allow water to reach fixtures i.e. faucets, toliet, etc. Hope this helps

I would stick to the filter Suzuki says to use,
not just finding one that will screw on to the threads and fit under cowling.

Could that boat have a wash down pump on it maybe?

I couldnt find a wash down pump anywhere, that was the only thing I could think of also.
Yeah, I think ill get a genuine Suzuki filer also. Not worth something stupid happening over a $10 part. Thanks!
