Nav anchor light switch

Hi,
I just bought a 2003 196 ff. In the nav position of the rocker switch, only the green red nav lights are on, not the white stern light. The stern light does work in the anch position of the rocker switch. Since wiring looks OK, it seems I have a faulty switch; what type and make of switch should I get, and could anyone send me a wiring diagram? Thanks!

    If your helm switches look like this:


    They are manufactured by Carling Technologies.  Any Hurricane dealer can get them for you, or from an online supplier.  Here's an online supplier if you need it:

    Interesting. I have 2003 196FF as well. However, in the OFF (Center position) the Nav light is ON. In the NAV position the Nav Light is ON the Stern is OFF (s/b ON). In the ANCH position Nav and Stern or both ON (Nav s/b OFF). Also the Nav light has 3 wires to it orange (Constant 12v), Black (Common), Grey/White Stripe (has 3.9v when in ANCH position, s/b 0v). Either the switch is bad, Diode is bad or Diode is installed backwards. Any Thoughts? Would like a wiring Diagram if one is available. I may just buy a new NAV ON/OFF switch as I don't need all three positions.
