[Rhodes22-list] Electrical help- nav light anchor light combo

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ted,

The diagram shows that you can hook the light up to a single switch that
will be three positions, Front only, Both, or all off.

This switch would work perfectly.

Hook your power to both the center pins. 
Then hook the white wire to 1a and 1b (marked on the side of the switch).
Finally, connect the grey wire to 2b.

Set up this way, the forward light will be lit when the switch is set to the
single dash, and will have both lights lit when the rocker is moved to the
two dash position.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Electrical help- nav light anchor light combo

So, I am trying to figure out the best way to wire my nav lights and anchor
light. It turns out my factory installed perko masthead light is both a
steaming light and a anchor light. Who knew?!? When I turn on the masthead
light on the circuit panel it only turns on the front steaming light part. 

I always just thought it was just a steaming light. However, it is not wired
with a switch to turn on the rear anchor light. Not to my knowledge anyway.
See perko wiring instructions.

So I take it I need to wire in a switch to control both?

How do you guys have your setup?

Cheers,
Ted
