Switch Panel

Postby mjmason1 » October 14th, 2020, 9:11 am

My original bridge switch panel had years of sun damage. We ordered a custom panel from New Wire Marine. They used our measurements and it came pre wired. It looks so much better and at night is really visible.

Looks very nice. You forgot to have them put the horn switch upside down though. . :worthy:

Looks awesome! I replaced all of my actuators with theirs also. Super simple.
Do your switches light up at night, or just when the switch is in the on position? I want to change mine so they all light up with the dash lights. I'll have to swap out the actual switches to do that.
The actuators themselves are an easy upgrade and barely a $100 with shipping

Those particular switches are cool because you can configure them in so many ways. There are two separate lights, one for the cover label and one for the lighted section at the bottom. They can even be different colors too. For example, you could have to bilge pump lighted section be red so it catches your attention if the bilge pump comes on but the label itself could be white or blue.

That’s awesome. I changed my horn so the actuator is red so I can find it in a hurry.
