Yes, strange indeed. The helm switch is definitely 2 way on off only...temping to wonder if a previous owner might have replaced it with the wrong switch except it is only labeled "windlass"....

.one would think if meant for helm control of chain direction it would have labeling info to that effect....and yet as mentioned if not for that then why does it exist at all when there are two other circuit breakers for it anyway ?
