I just have not persued the new switch. I'm sure Formula can direct us to a source.
Maybe MagicFloat knows.

mine also stays on as long as you want it to and has been like that since it was new, I just replaced the blower switch with one of these

I want to upgrade all the switches probly next year but this will get me buy, I used a 1/8 (I think) inch drill bit to drill out the slide on connections to retain the factory screw on type connections, was a pretty easy fix and a lot cheaper than others Ive seen. I bought it at a local boat shop

Maybe it is messed up. In that case, I need two switches.

Mine SEEMS to be spring loaded too. Before you go and buy another , you might want to give it a little extra push. That's what I do and then it clicks and stays on
