Hello Carver Friends,
Please allow me to come aboard this forum to introduce myself and Dragon Monkey, my newly acquired 2001 Carver 396. We will celebrate our acquisition every year on Sept 19, already a significant national holiday. This is my first larger boat and is providing several learnings with many more to come.
As the third owner, I inherited unexpected modifications contributed by the previous owners. I am tracing six unmarked switches on the helm dashboard to determine what if anything they operate.
I look forward to gaining advice and sharing our experiences on the boat.
Regards,
Permission To Come Aboard 2001 Carver 396 New Owner

Post a pick. We could give it a pretty good guess. There is alot of 396's out they're most likely wired the same way.
