Found this remote in the upper cockpit of our 36 Sovran.  The previous owner does not know what is/was used for.
Any Ideas?

I own a 2003 38 OPen and have a similar remote. Mine is used to turn on the overhead lights in the hardtop..... May be similar for you

That remote controls a set of lights in the upper cockpit but down near the floor.  it also controls a set of light down in the engine compartment.  It is detailed in your Manuel (sp?).  In theory you have that in your pocket and when you are heading down to your boat at light, you can hit the remote and those light will turn on so you don't have to crawl in there in the dark.  There is a breaker switch for it in the dc breaker area (mine is under the steps).  The problem I have is, I cant remember which is which, so I end up turning on the engine compartment lights and forget to turn them off.  Also IIRC you have to like turn on the lights with the remote to use the remote.  I know what I just wrote doesn't make sense, but somehow the set of lights have to be 'active' before the remote works.  I haven't played with it for a while.

As they say , 'read your book'!! LOL  Good Luck!
