Does anybody know where I can find rocker switches like this? I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a match! I cant afford to lose much more hair either!

Damn that panel is nasty. Looks like I need to get the wife out in her cleaning thong and take care of that!

How about a nice new billet panel, with all new rocker switches custom made to fit in the same area? :)

That might be an option. What kind of cash we talkin about?

That one is quite a bit different than mine. I had already checked out that site to no avail.
Anyone else possibly know?

What is different? Which switch in the pic are you looking for? Do you have a photo of the back of the switch?

The ones in my boat are oval with a plastic surround, just like the common rectangular ones. The one I am needing is the top one (horn). It also if I remember right has 4 to 6 prongs on the back.It is a momentary switch. I also need a 3 lighted single throw for other aftermarket equipment. Stereo, Depth gauge and cockpit lights.
The one you have pictured is round and made for mounting behind the panel. It is also for 120 volts which will work fine as just a switch but will not illuminate with 12 volts. I might be wrong though about the illumination though.

Get the manufacturer off the switch and do a goole search for them. They probably will list who thier distributers are.

Good answer! Hope it is on the switch. Sometimes the answer is right under your nose. :hammer2:

To answer your 1st question, I know that Nordic used to use them in there boats becuase those are the exact same switches that are in my 22' 98 Nordic Sprint.
To answer your second question, not as much as you'd think.. ;)
I'll pm you. :)
