Turn them on at night. You will not see them during daylight. Think of your car dash lights...

The Accy switches are extra that allow the owner to wire options such as fish finders to.

Yes it has wires connected to it and when I follow them I think they go to the motor hatch but I don’t know there is so so many wires the switch is like the horn switch it springs back when you stop pushing it

So it’s a momentary switch? Odd for an accessory switch as most are on/off. Does it seem to power anything?

Was just reading the manual for the depth finder said there was supposed to be a button to set the alarm but when I looked there was nothing but then I tried accessory 2 and it worked
Thanks for all the help I’ll let you know if I have any more questions
