Johnson Navigator Questions

Actually Scott, they are NOT the same knobs. The Ranger and Valiants use a
knob with a small white dot (piece of plastice) on the FRONT of the knob
for a pointer; while the Navigator uses a knob with a rear-mounted
cylindrical (rod) of plastic that sticks up enough to become the pointer
for the knob.

That said, I wouldn't put it past EFJ to have produced some with "regular"
knobs on the Navigator... they seem to almost have been experimenting.
There IS, for example, a STOCK NAV with a meter that does NOT have an EFJ
logo. Some WERE produced that way. But BOTH my NAVs have this very odd kind
of knob.
