Wich Switches Do You Like Better

[J-Bonz]

Hey all,
Getting ready to redoe the cockpit & dash on my 21' Apache Scout.... I picked out two style switches and would like your opinion. Which one do you like......................

The White Toggle Switch
or
The Black Round with Blue Light

[inbetween]

I like the black ones, but the toggles may be more robust for the marine environment?

[Holy Smokes]

Toggles to keep it looking classic like it should and save the black "euro" switches for the bayliners of the world.

I voted for the black round one, but I'm not sure how they will hold up.

Take a look at the rectangular Carling flat rockers. Tough and waterproof.

[Slandrew]

Black with light.

[McGary911]

I voted for the toggle. I actually like the black w\light better, but black plastic on a boat doesn't seem to stay black for long. A year or 2 in the sun, and you have more of a grey. Not to say the white won't get dirty, but you can probably replace the boot pretty easily.

Are the black switches marine switches?

I like the black round with light. Would look cool at night.

Toggle...

Someone used to make a line of extra heavy duty toggles- they had big, thick machined batons and rubber booting on the bottom third of the shank. Haven't seen them in a while.

[VetteLT193]

I just did mine. I used the metal switches. simple, effective, and small.

kind of a crappy pic but you get the idea. I kept them on a separate panel so I could pull it out if need be, without pulling the dash out.

Blue light blows out your night vision, it should be red>

The ones in the new Sunsation XRT are pretty robust! Not sure who makes them though...
