Drive/Tab rocker switch actuators?

I know that we've covered this one before, but I can't seem to locate the information. I've had a number of these fail, and now I'm all out of spares. The long spike breaks on the plastic rocker, but the switch itself is fine.

Where the heck do we find these things?

I think Formula gets them from Bennett (trim tab company) The last black ones I ordered from Formula were drop shipped from Bennett, I guess they also have white. Might be worth a call.

Found them for less than $6.50 each, instead of a new switch for $25+. These are the Honeywell part numbers, available through Newark at (800) 367-3573, ask for Samantha at extension 85157:

12PA6 - Translucent
12PA4 - Transparent
12PA5-W - White
12PA5-Y - Yellow
12PA5-G - Green
12PA5-R - Red
12PA5-BL- Blue
12PA5-BK - Black

I'm going to order 10 in white.

Did they use the same style switch on older models. I need a couple of black ones for an 89 272 and what about the other switches for lights etc they are very expencive form formula or just go to auto store.

If you can wait until I can check tonight......I think I have a bunch of them you can have. My previous boat had one or 2 not working and the covers were starting to yellow so I replaced them all.
