Support your boat factory.

But i don't want chrome. I'll gladly pay twice that to get white, like everything else on the dash.

When I get my new ones next week, I'll cut the chrome bezel off the bad one to see if it is an easy job.

I was told that there is a new style replacement switch and when he showed it to me, it's nothin like the old ones.
We had a dash update to do on a 1990 Fountain, so I kept all the switches off the old dash. Now, I have a bunch of spares that I know will fit right.

My boat is a 1991. I plan to reuse all the switches. I did notice that one of the toggles feels a little different than the others, perhaps is has been replaced. But all the boots look the same so i don't really care what the switch looks like underneath, it's not like anyone else will be touching them anyway.
I just started taking off some of the wires. There was one connector underneath there that was plugged in, with all the wires tied neatly in place but going nowhere. I don't know why they didn't just eliminate the connector, i just took it right out. That wiring is a bit of a rats next, i'm going to clip everything and label it then run everything a lot more cleanly.

Did they give you a price?

$500 minimum order from the factory.
they checked distributor inventory and they don't have what I want. Distributors have to make a minimum 25 piece order, and i only want maybe 10. If they're $2 each, though, i'll buy 25.

Price isn't bad, $2.19 each, but the potential 6 week lead time might really suck. That's if i order 25 to get the ones i want. They have black bezel ones in stock, i want white. I'll probably just order the chrome ones from the factory.
Do the new lights from the factory have raised lenses, or flat/flush lenses?

I assume just the flat lenses as there was no discussion of the raised lens.
I ordered mine last Thur morning and assumed they would have been here by now since they said they were going to be shipped out the same day. Maybe tommorrow......

Hell with it. I'm reusing the old lights. I screwed one of them up pulling it out but i need one less light on this panel since there's no seperate switches for each bilge pump.
I can't get what i want, the ones i can get more or less look like the ones i have or chrome, and i don't really want chrome. The black rims on the lights will match the black rubber boots on the switches, and the crappy old steering wheel i'm reusing.
