Boat: 1992 Nitro 190 TF

I am fixing my boat up and have a slight problem.  My boat was left uncovered by the previous owner.  The console with all the toggles and circuit breakers are faded by the sun and I can't read or tell what any of them are for. 

But I have figured what all are except one toggle.  It's the toggle on the top to the right of the Master Power toggle.  Do any of you know what this switch is? 

I have contacted Nitro/Bass pro and they have told me they do not know what that toggle is for and do not have a manual available that describes what they do.  So they could not help me.

Any and all help is welcomed!

Thanks!

Is it a 2 position switch = on/off or is it a 3 position switch?

If it's just on/off in that location it could be for your interior lights like a power switch for lights in the rod locker, but I'm just guessing.  Sorry.


Have you tried to trace the wires?

It's a three position switch.  But I just figured out what it was!  It's my Nav Lights.  Now I know what all my toggles are I am just left trying to figure out what my switch/lever on the side is.  One is marked Main & Aux...so I am assuming that if for my fuel tanks...but the other I am at a loss at.

I will take a picture tomorrow of what I am talking about and see if that helps!

Thanks for the help!

Is it your live well tanks switch under the throttle?

Do you have duel fill tubes for your fuel tank/tanks?

92Nitro190TF

I only have a sectioned livewell...one well with a plastic seperator in it.

I do have two fill tubes / holes for the tanks...one for main and one for aux.

I took some pics so I hope that helps!!!  The lever/switch on the right of the throttle/shifter says Main and Aux on it.  But the one on the left has no markings and I am at a loss for what it is for!

I can't see the pics from work but the Main/Aux label leads me to believe that it is for the gas tanks. If you don't have an Aux tank it was probably an option. Just some random thoughts.

Ok I couldn't see it at work the other day but now that I got a chance to look it over I have an opinion.

Looks like the one to the right of your throttle/shifter is for your main and aux fuel tanks.

The one to the left looks to be your drain/fill lever for your live wells.  Turn it one way fill up the tanks turn it the other way and the water runs out.  You can check that at the house if it's not freezing.  Use a hose to add water to your live well and turn the switch back and forth to see when it opens to drain.   :-*

Thanks Fogy!!!

That is what that switch to the left is!  It drains my livewells!  I never would have thought of that.  Thanks for your help with this!!!!!!!!
