    Automatic Lights!!!

    Has anyone else noticed that the navigation and dash lights on a 721 come on automatically in the dark as long as the main power switch is on ??? This is true, I swear im not losing my mind.

    They should be hooked up to come on with the nav light switch. Maybe they are on all the time and you are seeing them when it gets dark. It can happen that way...

    Might also want to check the switch on the bow. It might be on, and you not notice it until it gets dark. Put in your stern light and see if it comes on when you turn on the master during the day.
    The guys at Phoenix are smart and did add alot of neat features but auto lights isn't one of them..........Yet!!!!!!

    I noticed that on mine the other day too. However, I didn't check the front switch or put in the light. Got me curious now. Also, I have had the livewell plugs in but found water in the livewell up past the ledge. Are you guys seeing the same thing?

    Confirmed! if the bow switch is not in the middle position the dash switch will glow white. I played around too and found you can turn on/off the nav and anchor light from the bow switch only if the dash switch is in off position. The dash switch overides the bow switch.

    wow that was posted twice, and based on the time it was posted I was actually fishing at the pond...... so confused at how that happened.


    Anyway I checked the switch at the bow and it was not on, so im wondering if either the lights are on all the time or i I do indeed have some super duper automatc lights that you guys done have. Mine is a 2011 by the way. Im gonna have to call jeff at the plant and ask him.
