Question is, Do I just connect the positive wires to the plug (from the light and to the fuse panel?) Something like this... [img]http://allangreendale.net/dump/switch.JPG[/img] Thanks.

To make them work properly you wiill need a switch like the one in the link.........Off.............Bow & Stern Light On.............Stern light On...............

The reason there is a 2 position switch is when you are running you would have the Bow and the Stern light on. When you are at anchor then you would only have the Stern light on. Tom 1979 Sport 15'
