Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the help on the switches. I was able to take apart the ones that were not working, cleaned them out and got both the bilge and the blower working. Given the dirt and corosion that was in the ones i fixed, i'm sure they all need to be cleaned. I'll probably get some spares ordered too, but right now I have more important items to spend money on.
I also put some touchup paint on the trim tabs, and put them all the way down to do this. When I went to bring them back up, one of the indicator cables broke
.
Does anyone know what length to order on these? OSO search turned up one reference to a 15', but I need to be sure and need to get both sides.
Thanks

Unfortunatly I'm in NH and the boat is in Maine, so I wanted to order them and have them for next weekend when I go back.
No big deal, summer doesn't start for another month in Maine so I still have plenty of time.
I figured I was going to have to pull the "gauge" anyway so I would just look when I pop this out.
Thanks Again.

I ordered more switches and bought plenty of extra, you can rebuild too if there not too corroded inside, I can get the info from place I ordered them, it was a minimum order so I got enough to re do all switches

jmbighead,
Can you put the info you have on where you got the switches? I too ordered a few from Sonic about 3 years ago when you could talk to Loly and Bruce through email or phone. Now with the new ownership, getting any info is few and far between. Thanks for the help.
