I have a 2010 310 SDR. Every light works but the 360 anchor and the running lights. I’ve tried many combinations of switches. Any advice much appreciated.

PS LED cabin lights don’t go on either. I know they work(Ed) as during inspection we go them on. Thanks.

Are you saying when the 360 light is on the running lights don't work? Because there not suppose too The 360 light is the anchor light. When the running lights are on just the front half of the 360 light should be lit. you should also have a white light on the Stern of the boat.

I cannot get either the running lights or the 360 to turn on. There is no stern light, I believe at 31’ not required.

Ok then you need to get a voltage tester to see if your getting 12 volts to the switch and out of the switch

All power boats under 39 feet are required to have a stern light visible up to 2 miles
 
Have you checked the fuses? Have you checked the bulbs?

What do you mean by "many" combinations of switches? There really is just "off/on" - either one toggle that does both nav and anchor or two individual toggles.

Express, the terminology sometimes used regarding "all around" and "stern", etc, is sometimes confusing. The main goal is for a white light to be seen from 360* - that can be accomplished by a forward facing light on an arch/masthead and a rear facing light on the stern... or, it can be accomplished by a single light on a stick or on top of an arch. In the latter case, the light serves as both the 360* light AND the anchor light... all in one. You are absolutely correct in what you are saying - most likely, the OP has this latter version and just doesn't yet understand the full terminology. But, he will :)

For all lights to be out could be a broken ground
