Agree. Bocatech isn't the only game in town.

I am in the process of new switches and going with these, happy with them as far as I am in the project but yes hard to get at the moment... blue sea is another option i found also but have no experience with them

I like the look of the stainless in the center of the switch but I think the push buttons with the wording or picture on it would be more beneficial at night. Then there wouldn’t have to be any printing on the panels itself either.

Hearing all this corona virus this and that just makes me thirsty.

Those are nice !
None in stock

I went with the Nordic dragon head in the middle of all the switches and what they are(blower, bilge, etc) on the outer rim...was very shocked at how clearly everything is etched on them...don't have a pic handy but can text you one later if you want to see them

I wanna say 5 or 10...on the fuel switches and hatch switches I ran relays on them to make up for that...all my lights and everything are LED's so they don't draw hardly anything anyway...I specifically asked him about my underwater lights as they draw the most and he wasn't concerned at all and assured me they would be just fine.
