    Fuse location?

    Does anyone know where the fuse for the navigation lights are located on a Ranger 198P? Still a little sore from heart surgery and do not feel like crawling around looking for it.

    I think he wants to know which one it is in the panel. I got home late and forgot to take a pic for him.
    Hopefully tonight....

    Yap that is why I am looking for it, just old sore and lazy and thought if someone knew which one it was that it would save me from having to go looking for it. Thanks for the help.

    Remove the fuse panel cover (STBD side in front of the kill switch and throttle lever) looking at the fuse panel from inside the boat the 3A NAV light fuse is the upper right hand fuse (upper right corner). Let me know if you need more details and I'll send a pic

    As I get older and less flexible, I find new ways to get things done on the boat.

    Recently, I have taken to using my phone/camera as my eyes in difficult places. I can stick my arm into a baitwell, turn the phone around, and shoot a picture of the dark, blackish hole near the top. In the olden days, I MIGHT have stuck my head in there and twisted around to see what I was looking for. (I'm 80). Hope you find it.

    Any time....

    Hope you feel better soon.

    BTW, there is a placard on the back of the fuse panel cover with the fuse location.. May be worthwhile to take a picture of it for future reference.
