looking for older switches
 

I was hoping someone has a few older switches laying around they would like to sell. I broke my blower switch. It`s for my 87 242LS they had the red switch.

Or can I just buy a direct replacement for them any help would be great.

Thanks

Masi, any luck on the switch? What amperage is it? Those "switches" are actually circuit breakers. Might be able to dig one up. AL J.

Thanks i bought all new switches, at 24 years old I guess it was time to spend a little money on her:drink:

Alj,

I was looking for the switch for the depth sounder. Do you have that one?

Thank you,

Jed

Masi what did you end up going with, I have the same problem with the same switch.

Alj, what ones can you dig up?

I can get the REAL ones salvage. Only a few amp ratings available though. Don't replace these with plain switches. They need to be circuit breaker switches or you have to rewire the circuit back to a breaker panel and install a separate breaker for the device. I discussed this on another thread. Not sure most folks understand the concept of a breaker switch though. It's dangerous not to reinstall breaker/switches. If you don't believe me, call Formula to get the real story. Fires in boats = BAD. Give me the amp ratings of your bad switches and I can check availability for you guys.

Alj, would you happen to have one of these switches in the 15Amp variety? I need on to replace the blower switch. Let me know if you do. I checked with ETA and they don't make it anymore and don't have a direct replacement. Thanks.

Chris, PM to you .... ALJ

Chris,
I picked up a switch for you. Check your email for my phone number .... ALJ

I need some switches as well, can you get a few more?

mung,
I can get some of the switches but only in certain amp ratings. Lighted 2 amp, lighted 5 amp, non-lighted 25 amp. These are original ETA. Used to be able to get 10 and 15 amp but not available now. Most of those switches on the dash are the 2 amp or 5 amp lighted depending on the boat. Check your Formula wiring diagrams. The 15 amp is the most often replaced because it is the Bilge blower. Unique wiring in that circuit. I'm not saying you should do it this way (wink wink) but you might be able to safely use the 25 amp switch in it's place.
