I just got my first bass boat which is a 223 that has been sitting for the past 10+ years. I am struggling on trying to figure out what all of the switches are for. Does anyone have an owners manual or know where I can find one? TIA

Welcome!! What year is the boat?
Are the labels worn off, or do you just need us to explain how each works? Hopefully, someone will have a manual for that year, but they are NOT model specific.
What year is it?
Welcome and Congrats on the new Champ!
Pictures would help. See if you can upload some images.
Sorry for the late response. It is a 2001 model boat. The switches are just below the throttle on the sloped surface. I also have total of four 2-pin plug sockets that I don't know what they are. Maybe a lighted bimini top?thumbnail_20221206_191003.jpgthumbnail_20221206_191102.jpg
Those are for night fishing lights
The plug sockets are powered all the time. I was hoping they would be tied into one of those side switches...Originally Posted by kris_tx
Congratulations on the 223. My switches behind the throttle are live well pump out and power on switch and rod lockers lights and cigarette or power plug. The socket you see I believe is for a black light option.
As an update to the side panel switches, one of the switches is for switching the fuel sender signal for the main and the aux fuel tank. I'm still trying to figure out the other switch. As a side note with the dash switches, does anyone know what the hydro(manual/auto) does?
Hydro/manual/auto is a livewell switch. Think of hydro like recalculation on other bass boats.
Hydro Air simply adds air bubbles to the water in the well. Nothing else.
The Aerate switch fills well and circulates water into and out of lake/wells.
Both can be manual or on a timer.
Yours has two gas tanks ? Wow like 50 gallon tank wasn't enough weight in the back!
We're is the aux tank location?
