Mysterious red buttons......

Hi there,
My Rinker 270 (2002) is now afloat and ready to go. However I have yet to find out what 2 large red buttons are located to the lower right had side of the helm position. Not sure if these are retro fit or factory. Also, have yet to find the switch for the holding tank pump out, any suggestions?

    Not sure about red buttons, my 2000 doesn't have anything that sounds like that. Trim Tabs? A pic would help us help you identify them.
    As far as a waste tank "pump out switch" there is none, as there is no pump in tank. A marina or other boat service facility will have a pump out service which is essentially an oversize vacuum that sucks the tank out and disposes of the waste.
    Prevents the "idjits" from pumping out a tank on the water........

    But if you mean the switch for the water holding tank to run the on-board water system it will be marked "Galley Pump" and should be about the fourth switch down from the top on the row of switches ahead of the throttle control.

    My holding tank level indicator, if that's what your referencing, was located on the main circuit breaker panel on my 2006 270 if I recall correctly. 
    No clue on the red switches. My only red toggle is the horn.
