I need one also fro '89 311. Bought one several years ago for an '88 223 from Formula. Pricey little bugger it was, like 40 bucks. They're German-made as I remember. Keep in mind, for your bilge switch, you'll need a "momentary" switch. It's only on while you hold it on. That's what came originally.

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

Maybe MagicFloat knows.

My '89 272 switch clicks on and off and stays on as long as you like. I think your detent may be screwed up.

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.

WHEN MY BLOWER SWITCH WENT OUT I COULD STILL HOLD IT ON AND IT WOULD WORK

Guess so. It's been that way since I got the boat in 2000. I just assumed it was a momentary switch for the bilge pump so you wouldn't leave it on. Made sense to me. Just when you think you know something..............................

Ditto

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
