Nav Anc Illuminated Rocker Switch

Genuine Carling Contura II rocker switch labeled “Nav/Anc”. This Nav/Anc rocker switch is a Double Pole Double Throw ON-OFF-ON switch. It is mean to be used to trigger both your running lights (red and green) and stern light (white) – when the switch is up. And when the switch is down, it turns on only the stern light.
All of New Wire Marine’s rocker switches are labeled with durable UV stabilized ink and large format text.
This product is the ENTIRE SWITCH combo and includes both the switch body and the labeled cover. Find the Nav/Anc switch cover sold separately here.
Our Navigation/Anchor rocker switch has two indicator lights, that illuminate when the switch is ON in either position. If wired correctly, the UP position indicates on both lights as it should.
This Nav/Anc rocker switch will replace any Carling V-series or Contura style rocker switch. That includes Contura style switches sold by Carling, Sierra, Blue Sea Systems, Sea-Dog, etc. It uses an industry-standard 1.45″ x 0.83″ mounting hole.
This Nav/Anc rocker switch has 7 terminals on the back:
A hard copy of the wiring diagram will be shipped with this switch. You can also find it in the product images above, or download a PDF wiring diagram here.
What does this mean in real life? This is an exceptionally high-quality rocker switch from the industry-leading manufacturer, Carling Technologies. This switch will last many years in the harsh marine environment.

This Nav/Anc rocker switch is a Contura II style, as pictured above. Contura II is the one with the small bumps on it. We carry printed Contura II’s in red and blue lens options (selection from the menu above).
We also carry this label in Contura V style switch here. The Contura V style includes a two-lamp switch, which allows a great backlighting effect for night readability.
Your “running lights” also called navigation or nav lights are the red and green lights on the bow. Your anchor light is the all-around white light on the stern, or on top of the T-top or radar arch, etc. These are often controlled with one switch because they have a very specific operation per the USCG. When running (actually moving at night), all lights should be on (red, green and white). While sitting at anchor in the dark, only the white light should be on.
That exactly how this rocker switch is designed to operate. It’s a true Double Pole Double Throw, and with two simple jumpers, it can be wired so the UP position triggers both bow and stern lights. The down position will only turn on the stern light.
Please see the wiring diagram for details on how to make this happen.

The switch will be an exact fit. The only reason for the four stars is I haven’t installed yet. I do like the wiring diagrams and internal diagrams for every typical switch. Website is user friendly

I like that it is a standard size and easily fit into the replacement switch panel I plan to use. Played with it today and installed it in the panel and tested it. Works great!
