If it has 3 brass bolts it is a battery selector switch. (1 off 2 both)
If it only has 2 brass bolts then it is a battery disconnect switch Looks like this one without the lock www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=112462&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50523&subdeptNum=50543&classNum=50547#.Uagn32fkqSo |

That switch looks pretty beat. Just me, but I'd opt for a new one... They're around $30-50.

I think some of the newer model dual battery switches also have a shunt built in, so if you accidentally switch to off with the motor running you won't fry your charging system. I'd go for a new one.

ON THE MONEY THERE! Toss that old PAS and buy new, as MUCH cheaper than frying the charging system. |
