The set my brother ordered from Checkmate has a red box and the print below the larger box. Someone else has to have this one.

So far it looks as if Carling quit making switches with that type of text on the covers and switched to international signs......


That doesn't mean no more exist, but so far I've been unable to locate any in my searches.

Thanks for looking. There is one somewhere. How did you find out that Carling quit making that type?

The covers with bumps are the Contura switch line.

This shows the symbol they started to use on the lighted part vs the name. I believe some have the name on the switch below the symbol, but I've been unable to find just the name.

Carling sells the entire line for offroad vehicles also, so that is probably the reason behind the change to symbols like the international auto industry.

I called Carling. The guy said they bulk produced these switches, the cover is called the actuator. So you have to order 250 to get it custom printed. I guess all I can do it watch all the marine outlets and find something close, or use a blank for now. Only other thing I can do it start calling every Formula dealer in the United States and maybe someone has one in stock. Needle in a hay stack.

I'd start with an email to every Formula dealer in the US. May work. Also watch EBAY. I've seen other colors that look the same.

Another option maybe, I believe the covers are only about $3 each. Replace every cover with the new style. Check CP Performance and see what they say.

Yea, I could do that. If they went to the pictures if I could find a picture that represents everything I have then that would work.

May be a change of plans. Looks like I may have Steve at Innotech Products build me a dash. If I do this I will order the new style switches. I have to research refacing my gauges.

That is exactly what I did when TxHouse and I redid Grail Seeker. I may have some leftover white rocker covers but am unsure of their location. Let me look around. New dash, wheel, and switches do alot for a boat IMO though. Keep us in the loop of your progress.

Been on the old phone today. Picked up new bearings and seals for the trailer. working on a parts list for lights, wheels, solid coupler, electric over hydraulic setup with new disk brakes, new fenders, springs. Spoke with a guy about sand blasting and power coating the trailer. He has a 40' booth. Going to cost me but it will be sweet when its done.

I will get some newer better pics. I am about done with my air compressor so I will begin wet sanding. It has a little ways to go.

This is really making me mad. If I hit the bow roller hard the boat hits the metal. What a bad design. Going to a V style stop.

Looks good but curious if you have priced that wheel in particular? If you have and respond to this post that means you are still alive. If not, I understand as I about had a heart attack when I asked about it.

Also, give me a shout or send John P a PM. He is a livorsi rep and can get you the gauges and etc at a real good price.

Can't............ it doesn't have brakes. Ask him how he found out!

I don't have a problem launching at Highland Lakes Marina......w/ my 2WD Duramax! Lake Austin is just easier.

I figure you'll be able to get the boat "Down" the ramp no problem......

Ha, I about fell over dead when I saw the price. I will probably just be going with a 3 polished spoke purple wheel. I think CP performance had the best deal yet. About $150.00 I think. I like the 3 spoke anyway. simpler for my setup.

I should have posted this one, but the dash from above came from the Innotech Web site. I like most of the stuff this guy does to his boat. Wish mine was as clean. I am thinking now to keep my gauges and I can keep the white switches. I was going to re build the faces on my gauges to be carbon fiber or sliver carbon fiber is what Steve and I discussed but maybe to save some money I could keep my gauges. This looks ok.

I got close to a 35 but someone put a deposit down before I could get it done. I like the Formula. I really want the 35' that South Austin Marine has with the Volvo DPX and the Innovation motors. It was rough inside but for the right price it would be worth it.

I was at Mansfield damn on the September poker run. The guy in front of me was launching his 24' Baja outlaw. His trailer went off the end. So we went over to Highland lakes to launch. I did not even try to pull my boat out. The guy with the Baja had to pull my boat out. He tired with the dual wheel Durmax and it slipped. Had to 4WD it.

I got this figured out. I just ordered a dock light switch from Formula. All you have to do is snap off the rocker on your old switch and put it on the new. Works find I did it.
