DPDT inputs conected?

[Dark3]

Wondering if the 2 input blades are connected internally or require a jumper. (Hot lead to both input blades for both poles to be hot).

Also wondering if it will EVER STOP RAINING lol. Thanks

They require a jumper. This circuit is for anchor / nav lights.

Thank you earl60446

like this? Are there 2 jumper wires that need connected or am I looking at this wrong? Sorry to hijack but I am having issues with this dang switch! about to throw away in the garbage!

 

[Dark3]

Thats right. I found it easier to use twist nut connectors to split the stern and power wire then hook all 4 of those wires to the switch rather than mess around with jumpersView attachment 1View attachment 2View attachment 3

Both diagrams are correct for anchor and running lights.

No,


It will not stop raining. So it is good you are prepping your boat.
Did you get the coordinates for the meet? Gonna make a Waterworld type shanty town.

Well now I feel like an idiot, the switch I have is a momentary switch which means it returns to the center OFF from both ON positions (Top-Bottom) when handle is released. I'm guessing this isn't going to work for me is it?

Probly not lol

The heck with it, I'll just wire everything separately on on/off toggle switches.

You can get a dual pole dual throw dpdt switch at west marine for 20 bucks or the same one online for 3 bucks lol

I'm using a headlight switch. Pull it out to the part way out you get the anchor light, pull it all the way out you get anchor and bow lights.
