Who makes switch panels ?
 
I know about Innovate.
I`m looking to get a new panel made with switches installed and wired if possible.. need some more options.

New wire marine.

I used Steve at Innotech. Not sure about the wiring.

Contact Zero Patience, he's done several!

If it's any consolation - all pushbutton switches are experiencing long lead times as the Coronavirus (as crazy as that may sound, it's true) is affecting imports of goods from China. We're dealing with each customer's panel project as it comes through production, but there's a realistic possibility it may be weeks or many weeks before we're able to procure pushbuttons on a regular basis.

If you're OK with waiting for pushbutton switches then we can get your design started and get you into production ASAP to hold your spot in line.




This corona BS is getting just stupid .

Yup....

Get some carbon fiber sheet and start cutting!

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.

It's been a few years but Steve did mine as well. Very happy with how he handled a small problem we had with one of them too.

Im in line foe the switches too :bsflag:

Bocatech switches if you want to spend a lot

I went through Billet Automotive Buttons...they are out of Australia...really cool dude easy to deal with...I'd go through them and just make your own panels since they are nice and flat...just my opinion..good luck

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

That`s where I designed it but at $1750 I`m looking for other (cheaper) options

Those are very cool!!

BBYSTWY 03-11-2020 11:50 AM

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

Drock78 03-11-2020 12:15 PM

Post a pic when you can. I want to see

BBYSTWY 03-16-2020 06:49 AM

Had the woman snap a couple pics of them for me....

What amperage are those rated at? I’ve found a bunch only rated at 3-5 amps

BBYSTWY 03-16-2020 08:12 AM

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.

ICDEDPPL 03-16-2020 08:40 PM

I ordered all my switches from there .. customized each one .
I think it`ll come out really nice. $300 out the door for 11 22mm switches
thanx for the tip

BBYSTWY 03-17-2020 06:45 AM

No prob bud...post some pics when you get em! As long as the corona crap doesn't bone you they should ship quick...I think I had mine in a week after I ordered them

$5,000 and $700 in shipping .
I probably should have so I can have genuine Cig stuff.

Drock78 03-17-2020 10:00 AM

Is the etching on the button itself backlit?

BBYSTWY 03-17-2020 10:33 AM

If you get black ones yes...the stainless ones no its just the ring lit up

Nice tip re billetbuttons. Going to redo mine this winter and these are way cheaper than newwire, which are all on backorder anyways.
Can anyone chime in what they did for the 3 way switches operating the bilge pumps and nav/mast lights?

hogie roll 09-24-2022 11:12 AM

Looking for someone in the tampa area that can do this and install.

I'm making a new dash as we speak. I just did separate switches for my nav light up and down (momentary switches) and individual for bilge. The Manual bilge is a momentary switch and automatic bilge is a latched switch. I laser engraved the dash wording now I'm going to try my laser to etch the switches after seeing ICDEDPPL's.

I went with standard switches for 3 ways. Could be accomplished with 2 switches too.

Yeah, I believe that is where my 15 switches turned into 21. Lol
