That’s actually a great question! This happened to me when I first got my Bennington pontoon...Going into Glendale from Welch at night. Turn my nav lights on at Welch and do a light check and all is good. On the way in I noticed there was an interior light on on the side of the helm. Not being totally familiar with the switches I start turning rocker switches on and off until the interior light shuts. Yup, you guessed it, interior light is on same switch as nav lights! The helm light is a touch light and your supposed to push it to shut it off but the Nav rocker switch also shuts it. Pretty ridiculous to have it wired this way! Yes, I was pulled over and rightfully ticketed by Marine Patrol. Talk about feeling stupid but it happens to the best of us!

There are those that have and those that will!
