On my 1999 Boston Whaler 21 Outrage most of the rubber coating on the dashboard switches is rapidly deteriorating. Looking for a source for new rockers just the rocker, not the entire switch.

Re: Boston Whaler dash switch source
Are they made by Carling? Look at Carling C3-A Contura rocker switch actuator only (no switch). FP Marine in Florida has them for $2.50 each.

Re: Replacement Rocker for Rocker Switch
Got my replacement switch covers for the Carling rocker switches on the dash panel of my Boston Whaler boat. The old gummy covers shown below:
New covers shown below. I changed the switch illumination color to blue for the raw and fresh water switches and added icons to the covers for the bilge pumps--I could never remember which switch was which.
Old and new switched with illumination:
And if you decide to order covers, get the Carling removal tool. For $2.50 it is a bargain. And eight new covers and one tool put me right at the $25-minimum for ordering.
Thanks again to Phil for the hyperlink to the vendor. And no more black sticky finger tips.

Re: Replacement Rocker for Rocker Switch
Those illuminated Carling rocker switches look very cool. I now want to go boating after dark just to see those illuminated Carling rocker switches in a variety of colors.
Re: Replacement Rocker for Rocker Switch
The switches have always been illuminated, since the day the boat was built. I only changed two of them to blue.
And I like running at night. When I ran dive charters I preferred doing night dives over daytime dives.
