Usually above the ignition switches are circuit protectors, either bush button breakers or fuses. #1 seems to be a battery test switch for checking voltage on one bank or the other. #2 is for checking fuel level on port and starboard tanks. I can't see #3 symbol, maybe a horn, #4 looks like it may be a blower symbol, can't tell #5,6, #7,8 look like blower symbols.

Maybe one of the guys with the same model will chime in.

I’ll give the switches a try, trying to remember my old 3067. #1. Battery test Momentary switch (Left/right For bank 1 or 2; #2. Fuel gauge momentary switch (left/right for port or starboard tank; #3 horn momentary switch; #4 engine room blower; # 5 nav /anchor light (up for one/down for the other, center off) #6 Panel (gauge) lights; #7 & 8. Bilge pumps down for auto (float) control, up for manual on. Lights above indicate when bilge pumps are running.

Guys!! Me again. So I check in the owners manual instrument wiring diagram to find the correct breaker I need for the ignition, not sure of the symbol that represent the breaker, is it possible that I need 20Amp breakers? Seems high

So you again huh....... :-D

Your old breakers there may still have some ID on them as to the spec/ rating.......can you see anything on there ?
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
