Default Lights are out?

Maxim 2007 - lights won't work - bought a new switch but not sure I wanna install it by myself? Is it difficult? Could it just be the bulbs? Any chance anyone has a link to a diagram or advice would be greatly appreciated. Need lights for Poker run tomorrow night!!

Nav light is on the bow stern light is white light or mar be same as anchor all around light.

Both are required for night operation. The anchor/ stern light may be a pole light that you have to insert into a socket.

Is there 12 V at the switch and at each light fixture?

Do you have a tester ??

A multi tester is invaluable for electrical, but even a cheap 12v test light would help you..

When testing old wiring the continuity tester saves a ton of time

Harbor Freight has ones that work and are no big loss if it hits the lake

I actually got one specifically for boat use for free yesterday with a coupon

This one

7 Function Multimeter

I got that same meter for free and can't get it to work for continuity... Screen doesn't change when it's on the lowest resistance setting and touching the leads together.
Works for voltage though...
