Hi,

Help me solve the mystery of the buttons highlighted. Any 290ec owners out there that can tell me what these buttons do on their boats?

Thanks,

    My guess is accessory switches that were not optioned at the factory. I have a 280 and I had 2 or 3 of them that are wired for a raw water washdown and underwater lights. I do t remember the third one I had. 

    The other switch I am not sure of looks like a light of some sort, kinda hard to see. I think it is your panel light switch. Also odd that they are different covers, did you out the new covers on?

    What is the electronics switch supposed to do? My lowrance seems to be powered without it and that's the only thing I can think of that it would power.

    Thanks.

    I've been switching the covers to the etched kind.

    Ok that's what I figured it's supposed to do but I am pretty sure mine is powered regardless of the switch. I haven't used the factory gps in a am very long time so I'll have to check again. Thanks.
