Preferably, early to mid 90s style switches?? Need a bilge pump switch and my OCD says it need to be the same as all the others. :oops: Planning on upgrading the entire panel but that likely won't happen until next year. Wouldn't mind a few acc switches also. Can't seem to locate them anywhere except ebay (not willing to pay an arm and leg, like they are asking)

It’s not winning any beauty contests. But it works. Under the labels they are just plain switches.

Most of them work. Might be a bad one in Wiper position because I have no wipers. The Livewell On/off/timer is an oddball I picked up . On/off/on both lit.

FYI, these switched sucked when they were new. Not LED and they break and they are hard to find...

IMO..put replacing your panel higher on your todolist...with Contura Etched Backlit switches from New Wire Marine.

Exactly what I was going to upgrade to. With that said I'm $4k and 3 months into a project I expected to spend $2k and 1.5 months on. The budget is blown both time and money :oops: .... It has to wait until fall or over winter. Full electric upgrade. new switch panel. new fuse panel. new battery wiring with an ACR. Full rewire on everything except the engine harness. I do love the Contura switches!
