I really am thinking these have been added on . The owners manual Beacon sells will have a wiring diagram that will have every thing That Trojan installed on your boat .

Maybe for a stern bilge pump when on or high water sensor

Right position for mine but mine are square and I also see there are fewer gauges and pull knobs on that also my engine warning lights are round and up in the middle of the gauges

As a former tri-cabin owner (hurricane Michael got her) I will add my 2 cents. I have moved up to a 46 Pacemaker and I have similar lights, from what I can see, they are the water warning on the Racor water separators. One way to tell is to check behind the lights and see if they have small square boxes that have some electronics. On mine the wires going to the water separators are about 30 gauge. Also if you have Racor water separators check them and see if there are two wires attached to the bowl.

Water seperators are also called fuel filters. Mine were located on the forward bulkhead in the engine compartment. The are different on a gas or diesel engine however most all marine engines have them. The purpose is to separate water from the fuel like the name implies. Follow the fuel line back from the fuel pump and you should find them.

As far as anything at fuel filters there's no wiring at all so not those now I will do some searching see if I am missing something lol I believe it's something to do with my v-drive personally doubt it's anything to do with Stern bilge there's only one bilge pump in the Stern

I have a 73 Tricabin. I have Walters V drives and I expect you have the same. I have the same red lights that are connected to pressure switches in each Walters V drive. The lights go out when the engines go above something like 1400 RPM. I think it’s to show oil pressure in the V Drive. The Walters VDrive has a heat exchanger inside the gear case. The oil in the drive goes thru a copper tube that is in a water reservoir in the case. There are 2 thru hull fittings with hose for each drive that pass water thru the reservoir when the boat moves forward. It’s actually very cool ( literally). No pumps required. Anyways i think you have the same thing unless your engines are in the salon ( I think they did that in 78).
