Sean,
The push-pull switch was for the running lights. That’s all the boat
had when built. In essence, no wiring.
On mine, I converted the push-pull switch hole to a “power port”
(a.k.a. "cigarette lighter).
I overhauled mine (#259) from stem to stern with a complete wiring
setup. Details at the freedom21.info site.

Our Thanks
To Max, John and Nick and F21 Group for their helpful comments on
our purchase of hull 307, Emmylou.At least a dozen people have weighed in with their opinion that
360+NM on an untested F21 was stretching it, so a truck delivery has
been arranged for early April.I’m sure I will have dozens of questions / ideas to share but my
priorities are shaping up like this:
Mainsail - this rig seems to have the original sails. The
spinnaker is in fine shape, but the main is really beat. We would
like a new one. So far we have a couple of prices ranging from
$1,300. to $1,900. seems steep… Have requested a quote from
Thailand but not received it yet. My friend with a Freedom 40
Cat/Ketch says the Aisian sails are fine…Electronics: Does anyone know what the push/pull switch on the
outside of the sink cab. controls? Is there a wiring diagram
anywhere for this model? Anyone want to weigh in with input re: dual
batteries / voltage meters / lights / inverters / solar panels?Emmylou has “original” lifelines but I favor “full” lifelines
with a stern pulpit (4 legs?) so I can pad the lifelines and lean
against them when driving - what seems to work in your opinion?Finally (for now) - any experience with various bottom paints?
This one was supposedly painted in '05 with Petit Trindad. Any other
recommendations?In the swing of things, Sean / Vivian
