Afternoon all!

Im doing a bunch of ordering for the Cafe and the Top Gun this afternoon. I called up LipShip and Cig and they werent very helpful so i figured i would tap the wealth of knowledge on here. I am finishing up finals in school this week so I am not out at the shop to check, but i am placing an order tonight if i can get my questions answered.


1. Cafe fuel tank senders... i know they are 2 wire, but what length are they? 12", 24" ?

2. Top Gun ignition.. My port key will not turn. My Stbd key turns and systems are a go. Both keys work for the Stbd ignition. so it has to be someone busted, broke, tired to hotwire or something the boat at some point... Now where can i order a new ignition switch with the same key pattern so i don't need to swap both out? Or is that my only option to replace both sides?

3. Best place to order new toggles and rockers? We are updating the dash for both. would like white switches.

Thanks guys!

you may be missing the port ign. key if both keys work for the star. the keys will go in no problem but wont turn if it's not the right one. do you have to sets and maybe just using both starboard keys?

Every twin engine boat I have ever had were different keys for each engine.

Funny I don't think ive taken the keys out of boat. Cant remember them being different

I got all my switches from new wire marine. great prices and great service.

I also doubt if there is anything 'special' about an old top gun key switch other than just being a standard marine switch. Just replace them both with whatever switch makes you happy. Any locksmith can rekey them to be the same if you cant find 2 identical easily.

Lipship sells everything your looking for. They are always very helpful so not sure what happened with your conversation with them. They sell ignitions with cig emblem keys which are correct for the boat and most people would want them back in. Toggles can be found cheaper all over the internet just make sure to get stainless.

Actually they are special lol. This is what there suppose to look like

many of the parts you ask for are in the parts section of phils site. Phil is VERY helpful just don't waste his time. know what you want before you contact him. it is also better to do it by email. No disrespect, but he is constantly on the move directing his employees or helping a client, lots of northerners are down there now and winter is the time for them to get things done.
As for toggle switches there are many, you need to know the throw and the poles on each. some are on/off, some are momentary on/off/on.. and the poles on the back must be known as well. Take inventory of what you currently have then order, lastly they wont be cheap, but they will be right.

Nothing special about the switch just the key
