    Default Replacement switches for lights, etc...


    Where to get replacement switches for lights, bilge and aerator for my boat? I'm stripping it down to get ready to install carpet and when I pulled the gang switches from the console, springs, pins, etc went everywhere. There's no putting them back together. I know the 3 that I mentioned need to be 3 position, and have probably 6 pins on the back. I looked on Amazon and Ebay but am not sure of the right ones to get. I'd like to save as much money as possible, so I really hope to avoid buying a $100 switch panel.

    I got my switches from Del City.


    Every time I come up with a great idea, I get into trouble.

    "the 3 that I mentioned need to be 3 position, and have probably 6 pins on the back"

    that's called a double pole double throw switch, wires from battery go to center and then to whatever you run off them

    I would make sure that they are marine grade. In other words, water tight. If not you will be replacing them sooner than later.

    Switches for Bilge pump has one side that is spring loaded back to the off position. Pumps that have a float control do not use this type switch... I bought what was needed at the hardware store. The Rubber cover on the store shelf that is to keep water out ,has a tendency to always pull the switch back to the center

    Yeah, Del City is where I'm ordering them. I don't know why I didn't think of that first. We order a good bit of things from them at our business.
