Unknown switches on the Dash, Are they factory?
 

There are these three switches located on the dash of my 84 scarab 300 S-type. They are just to the right of the steering column. The switch on the left is kind of like a joystick while the center switch is a on-off-on and the knob on the right is well you guessed it a rotary switch? Is this factory and what is it for? I suppose I will find out when I pull the instrument cluster apart this fall but thought someone could tell me before then.

Thanks in advance

that's the remote spotilght control panel; finally removed mine this year (no spotlight anyway). good luck, -Jeff

Thats what I thought but I didnt see any spotlight or any place one may have been mounted? Was it mounted on the nose somewhere?

yes, at the very tip; most guys have removed it and expoxied over the holes - jeff

Ejection seat switch. Don't hit it with your old lady sitting next to you or you'll have some explaining to do.

replace the panel and put a 12 outlet there

Hook up a NOS system to that button and turn your boat into a sleeper. Your buddies will never know what hit them. :violent-smiley-045:
