cjk Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I would like to know the specs on the navigation/anchor light diode on the switch panel of a 98 MA or better yet a brand and pt # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsalt Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't think that they used LED switches on Maverick Boats in 1998. All my switches including Nav/Anchor are regular unlighted on/off/on switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjk Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Switch on panel is a simple on off on toggle original to boat. Nav off anchor, diode runs between nav and anchor to keep nav lights off when anchor light is switched on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel Loco Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I replaced mine (off a 98 Hewes LT) with a 3amp . 50PIV rectifier diode from Radio Shack. It needs to be installed in the correct orientation (which I don't remember) as it only works in one direction. RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 CJK It needs to be installed in the correct orientation (which I don't remember) as it only works in one direction. RL ..... This is the purpose of using the diode.... It acts like a check-valve allowing current flow only in one direction... There will be a symbol on the side of the diode indicating the direction of flow.... It will look something like this " --]<-- ",,, the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of current flow... As stated above visit your local Radio Shack and ask for just about any 3-5 watt rectifying diode.... I've got a ton of them in my shop but it would take more to ship it than it would cost you to buy one.... Old Salt,,,, he's not talking about a light emitting diode.... -------<" ){{{{{>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Just to add a little more. Most of the diodes will just have a band on one end that indicates the negitive or output end. Best to use a multimeter to verify direction, so you don't have to do work twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
