[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 418091, member: 21309"] Lots of good advice above, just thought I'd add my two cents. I don't know the details about your set-up, but I like to use a switch panel with integrated fuses or breakers (like this one: [url]https://www.amazon.com/SeaSense-Switch-Panel-6-Gang/dp/B004XADSUM/ref=sr_1_9[/url]); that way your fuses or breakers are conveniently located. I think you want to run your stern light and your nav. lights on a different switch or on a specialized three position switch (an off position, one position with just one pole energized, and the third position with both poles energized). You want to be able to turn on your stern light by itself so that you can use it as an anchor light without the port and starboard lights being energized. [/QUOTE]
