I'm updating the dash on my older Wellcraft this winter and want to swap out all of the original black-colored switches to white. I'm having a tough time finding white replacements for the blower, nav light, etc. switches. They are a Euro-style lighted rocker switch made by McGill that just snaps into the panel. They look pretty standard, but I can't find anyone who makes an all-white replacement. I'd like to keep the light function that indicates when they're "on" as well.
Anybody have any suggestions? I'm open to other styles, too. Thanks in advance. SM

I just had a revelation! I may be able to print on the switches with a custom printer we have at work. I am going to borrow a switch from a friend and experiment this week. If I can, I can print captions on all the blank switches.

What are you doing updating anyway. Get to shopping for that new 38'r.

Griff - resale, baby! Ha, actually, that is part of it. If I decide to keep the boat, though, decided this would be a good winter project. If it helps it sell in the spring, then great. Sent you the pic, thanks for posting.
Rookie - I'd like to keep the look of what I've got, but may have to use those Gaffrig's. I wouldn't be opposed to a toggle style, either.
Thanks, guys.
