Anyone know what this switch does on a 1980 20' Cig?
 
Can someone tell me if Cigarette had a switch located to the right of the steering wheel (LH steering wheel)? The switch has a red light mounted with it, but doesn't seem to do anything in this boat. Looking to swap it for a depth sounder if it does nothing.

Can't upload pics for some reason, but a pic is available if someone can help.

Thanks!

Is it the bilge pump or bilge blower? Just a guess.

Most likely the bilgepump judging by the red light next to it, alerts you if your pump is running off of the floatswitch.

Could it have something to do with the foot throttle or silent choice? I don't use it the foor throttle and silent choice isn't on it . I've seen the switch on other 20's.

-----Saw your Cig over at Kennys on 26 mile. Take it back there as Todd will figure it out in short order. You already had it at the right place!

-----By the way,,,If it all becomes too much for you I would love to take it off your hands. Very nice!!!

Switch on dash
 
Lots of the older Cigarettes had electric fuel pumps on them as well as the mechanical pump on the engine.That may have been the switch to turn on the pump. The pump may have been eliminated and the switch left in dash as not to create a hole in the dash? My older Cigarettes had a label below that said" Fuel Pump"

can't you trace the wires and see where they terminate?

I think you're the winner!

The wires weren't connected to anything when I went under the dash. I'm gonna yank it and put a Depth Finder in its place.

Todd did a good job getting the hydraulics working again, he knows his stuff. But, have to keep the cost down and do as many updates that I can myself.

I like all they've done on the Fino, looking like new!

This little 20 has one unbelievable ride for something this short. Once all the gremlins are out of it, this little boat will be perfect!:evilb:
