You will need to have both center terminals as power. May need to have a jumper to link them together.

why do I need a double pole? cant I just attach my nav lights to the top pole and since my anchor light has 2 control wires put one on the bottom pole and one on the top pole with the nav lights? I am trying to figure out how to make my indicator light work when in either position. ans with my bilge switch Ill have the on at my top pole and my bottom pole will have my standby position ( attached to float switch). I want my indicator light on this to be on when in the on pos and on when the pump is on while in the standby pos.
I will try to draw a diagram if I can figure out how to post it
thanks for the help. also pics on my new panel

Those are also circuits with only a 3% acceptable voltage drop, keep that in mind when you are choosing the wire!!

thanks for the help. also pics on my new panelI don't know why your anchor light would have two control wires unless it as two separate bulbs. If you connect your anchor light and side lights together on one pole they will always be on together. On your bilge the brown wire goes on the bottom, the red stays hot all the time.and goes to the float switch As long as you have a ground connected to your switch the lighted part will take care of its self.
