Buying ballast switches

(madison_boarder)

Hello everyone,

I've been spending time investigating all over Wakeworld, correctcraftfan, etc learning about how to automate the ballast on my 1981 Nautique. I've figured out pumps, enclosures, etc, but I don't know where to find the nice 7-prong lighted ballast switches with the black face and "fill" "empty", etc on them. Where have people been able to find these?

Thanks!

I got mine from my local MC dealer

Dealer would probably be the easiest but will cost $$$

I'm buying mine from www.waytecwire.com and having someone do some small vinyl lettering for them. My switches will be about $12 ea for cover, body, connector, terminals, and mounting plate.

the MC dealer was a little higher but they had them in stock and I needed them right away so I couldn't wait to order but I paid $40 for 3 switches and 3 covers which still isn't too bad

I found a marine dealer that sells them on E-bay. They had about every rocker switch you could think of.

I went to autozone, they have three way switches for like 6 bucks

I got switches with my Jabsco reversible pumps.

Here's what I did for reference:

I got mine from the local MC dealer, who also has a website at waterskis.com. The covers were 2.95 each, and the DPDT switches were about 20 each.
