Also, my boat has a switch labeled "accy". The manual doesn't mention
this switch but it looks factory. I've not been able to find anything
that works differently when this switch is on/off (radio, power
supply, etc)

Accessory switch. Normally used to provide power to gizmos added by
owner.

Didn't the Transportation Security Agency require that all boats after
2002 have a transponder on them that is controlled by the ACCY switch
so they could keep track of where all boats were at all times?

Not a lot of folks know about that switch. I'm looking at your boat now and
I see it's in your driveway.
