Mine has 2 peg looking switches with 3 settings- top, middle and down. I don't know what they control but I assume bow and stern light? There are 2 empty holes to the right of those switches and I'm not sure what was there previously.

What I showed you were original and newer original.
Looks like yours has been altered.
Maybe think about buying a new panel from Whaler and start your wiring from scratch except for the motor harness which is different.

Here is a newer version of the panel.

Now is the time to cleanup your wiring and get to know it before it's too late.

Pull out all dead ended wiring and know exactly where the other wires go and are attached to.
Make sure every wire works and is needed.

Again, you do not need to know the engine harness but it is connected to the ignition switch and instruments.
See these 2 different types of engine harnesses but you most likely have the older "Red Plug" version.

Good Luck and enjoy getting to know your wiring system.
