Dashboard switch identification

Postby Tagalongmike » Mon May 26, 2025 12:23 pm

We purchased a 1987 V20 steplift with a mercruiser I/O. There is a decal on the side of the boat at the fueling port that gives instructions on blower usage. All of the identifying labels were missing from the dash switch plate. If anyone has a picture of what switch is where on the switch plate I would appreciate seeing it.

Have you tried just turning on each individual switch til you figure out what does what?

Yes and we have some of them labeled. The previous owner rigged and rewired/changed some things so just trying to get back to original layout for reference.

So here's the thing......even with mass produced boats, no two are going to be the same. Just for fun I google image searched your boat make and year dash.....they were pretty much all different. My advice would be to do the same image search I did '1987 Wellcraft V20 steplift dash' and see which one most closely resembles yours.
