I don't know for sure - don't have a unit like yours - but it looks like it may be a light switch... for a light in that storage compartment.

Does your unit have electric actuated dump valves? If so, maybe that's what the switch is for considering its location.

Just being stupid as a noob. Light switch was correct.

My problem is the dealer (2016 sunseeker 2860) winterized it and I thought I could dewinterize mysel. Got everything going well, but can't get any hot water. Thought that switch might do something, but just a light. Oh the pains of being a novice. Wish there were more readable manuals... But I love the forum.

See if this may help: as it's a sticky in our plumbing section and one of the most common asked questions.
