1990 3608 Aft Cabin Hard top Light Switch

Postby tlwerthmann » May 12th, 2022, 2:30 pm

I am seen questions & answers regarding where this switch is to turn on and off. We have looked inside the storage cabinet next to the salon doors and there is no push button or switch inside. We have no switch located inside the doors. Can anyone give us ideas on where this might be located? Any help would greatly be appreicated.

Thank you,
TL Werthmann

Sorry no one's responded I have a different model and I wish i could advise but hang in there. It's gotta be close by though my 405 has the switch right by the cabin entrance someone with that boat will hopefully read your post soon. If you already found it maybe post its location for future inquiries. Good luck

I’d go back to that storage locker next to the door and give it a 2nd/3rd look. Mine is up high in the cabinet and can easily be overlooked

On my 355 it's also way up high in that storage locker. You cannot see it unless you get down on your knees and look up into the storage area, and even then, its tucked up tight in the upper left-hand corner.

So we looked high and low in that cabinet to no avail. We've checked and double, triple checked and no switch. So the only thing we can think of is that it's in a switch on the helm and they are not working. So we will take the lights down and check to see if there is voltage.

Is there any possibility they were re-installed with lights that turn on/off by pressing the lens? Similar to interior lights in a car? 8-) er

Have you tried, " Heh Alexa turn on lights"......... :-D ....oh I had to......bad me....
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
