5) Switch panel
A separate switch panel is fitted in the Version B, on
the front panel of the inside steering position, to
starboard and just below the engine control box
(plate 4).
Here you find the switches for navigation lights and
top light, as well as for the deck flood-light fitted in
the mast to give light on the foredeck. Fitted here are
also the switch and dimmer for the control-panel
light, switches for the two windshield
wipers which are fitted on Version B, and the button
for the electric horn.
The main switch for the refrigerator is also fitted in
this panel. As Version B has electric, automatic bilge
pump and fresh water pressure system fitted, the
switches for
these gadgets are located in this central switch panel.
The main switch for the refrigerator is also located
here, and an additional switch is fitted for
operating the “buzzer” an acoustic alarm mounted in
the pedestal which will warn you immediately if one
of the control lamps in the instrument panel in the
dog-house is lit. As a matter of convenience this
buzzer can be switched off, but when under way,
steering from the cockpit steering position, make it a
rule to have the buzzer switched on.
Low down on the switch panel fitted in the Version
B, you will find the starting key for the engine.
