After nearly a year of owning the boat have decided to attempt to decipher some of the mysterious hieroglyphs on the dash of the ACM.
PS. Nothing at all actually appears to happen when these are switched on or off.

The top one is evidently lighting for a nearby level crossing, this is why you would not have seen any difference whilst onboard.

Top one is deck or under seating cockpit lights .There will be a breaker on the saloon panel .If it’s off hence “ doesn’t do anything “ .

The horn , second one is to turn off/ reset alarms .

Ta ............so very much.
There are some posh blue LED lights embedded around the transom doors and swim platform of the boat, had no idea they could be switched on/off.

Pretty sure those are power trim buttons for the outdrives. Have you ever seen the boat out of the water..? 🤔

There might be pair of the Devils Anchors under there but as the boat has been moving around under its own steam for an entire whole 12 months without having to be mended , suspect its got a nice set of sensible reliable set of shafts . :)




Just checked and the switch with the bulb underneath it is definately for the transom lighting.
Have been wondering for ages what on earth the switches did.
Do have both an original owners manual in French plus a next to useless Franglish translation, neither of which mention the switches or their purpose.
