First things first, the three way has both (actually measured) 12v and ground going to it? If so it may be wired wrong, there are lots of pics wiring a Carling switch online.

But, if what you say your switch runs "compass, fish/ depth finder & nav lights"

I've never seen a nav/anchor light switch wired that way. Are you guessing it runs all that stuff because none of it is working?
 
Switches are typically standard sizes. My guess is that this is a double pole, double throw (DPDT) switch with a jumper across two of the terminals. A continuity tester would confirm that this is true. You can find what you need here and just add your own jumper wire:

sorry never got back to you/ been hectic round here over course of year! well i got me another same type & throw it in and yeah to your question it lights up all that throws juice right over to it. finder has it's own turn off button but nav is on unless toggle put into center then all goes off/ cuts juice to panel at helm .Guess way the wired it up. any who, sold it this past late winter got a more open walk around to much climbing upand down for me ankles& leggs not what they use to be .
