Had several Nautiques, been a while since one this old.
1981 Light Switch: 2-position or 3-position. Seem to recall 3-position-1 for NAV lights, 2 for ANCHOR lights, 3-OFF. Since I've not yet run this one, not sure. This one feels quite rough in operation, more like 2 1/2 position. Thanks in advance |

My recollection of the push-pull 3-position switches is:
1: (all the way in) - OFF 2: first detent - Anchor only 3: second detent - Anchor and Nav |

Thanks for the reply.
It's actually a 3-way toggle switch in '81, basically functions as you describe. Got it all cleaned up, working good now. Thx again. |

It been a few years since the boat manufacturers have used the good old and more expensive Attwood type push pull.
 I have never come across a worn out push pull.

Nobody is going to pay 100k plus for a boat with switches like those

True on that Gary! They do work well and are easily serviced to keep them working!

That's for sure plus there's no "bling". |
