Re: How to Operate my Boat
The first thing I'd suggest you do is go online and take the Power Squadron's on line seminar/test. Before you take the boat out on water.
Then I'd suggest finding a friend that has a boat, or pay a captain, to teach you how to use your boat.
You have not listed your location, but if you are in a lake of any great size, I'd suggest you take a few advanced courses and the engine maintenance course, even if you do not do mechanical work att all. Knowledge is power.

Re: How to Operate my Boat
Take pictures of your panel. There are probably others on here with the exact same boat who may be able to provide insight into mysterious switches.
Just curious... if you've never had a boat, why did you pick that one to start?

Re: How to Operate my Boat
Turns out, looks like you have a couple pretty good size lakes there!!
What I would recommend is find someone who can give you some help, but more importantly, find a few days DURING THE WEEK where you can go out and practice. If your lakes are anything like ours, the character is quite different on weekends and more stressful when you're trying to learn something new.
