I am a first time boater with a 2007 Four WInns 190 4.3L 225HP Volvo Penta.

I don't understand if this is a reset, on and off, or ? button. Any help would be great!!!!!

are you speaking of the one at the stern bulkhead? if so, it is a breaker switch. there is also a breaker at the helm. the little rubber covered on the switch panel. had that same question as well.

The one on the dash? A breaker for items supplied by the ignition switch. There's never a mention of it in any FW manual I've seen !!

I see it in my FW manual drawings as "IGN Breaker". A few have mentioned it "popped"; reset, and on thier way. I can't actually "see" it in pics of my dash. My keys may be in the way. I'll have to double check when I finish winterizing/cleaning today. :cry:

I found out the hard way trying to figure out why my 2008 H210 wouldn't start how the helm power and the ignition circuit are wired. From the battery, a red wire goes to the Helm Power CB located stern bulkhead. From this CB, a Red with purpule stripes wire supplies power to the main helm fuse panel. From the fuse panel a red/purple unprotected (no fuse or CB) wire goes to the ignition CB (right under the ignition switch). This CB protects all circuits on the ignition switch including the ignition, starting, and accessories (e.g. radio).

The hard part was that FourWinns misswired my fuse panel to ignition switch circuit and used a Orange/Red wire which took me a little while to figure out (since I was not looking that color wire).

At least I understand the boat a little better now. Hope this helps.
