ballast switches

I'm re-doing my ballast system and just wondering where people get the covers for the contura style switches that have ballast written on them. I have found several places that have the switch, but not the cover.
This is the style switch I"m talking about.

I ordered the lettered switches for our Malibu from our Dealer (Waterski America) in Dallas. I think they were $1.50 a piece.

though, not an answer to your question, here's a few links to look at the different designs available. It's odd that Digikey, Allied Electronics, and Mouser don't carry the switch actuator (or cover). So I'm not sure where you'd go to get it, other than as Eubanks said.

Yea, I thought I may have to go through a dealer. Thanks

Craig: I saw the options that carlingtech has, but they just don't appeal to me.

gordon: Love the colors on that Supra

Thanks...btw I left the ballast stock in her, I added an auto ballast system to my old bayliner before I got this one... with an 07 almost identical on the way!

I used switches and covers from MC, labeled for ballast fill and drain. They were 17$ with the cover. They were SPDT, so good for aerators but you need relays if you use a reversible pump.
