Best Price I could find on switch covers

[Beachbummer]

Oempartsllc.com charges $10 shipping, and each switch cover is $1

Before and after








Not the exact same style, but I like it.

Their prices on what they carry is very reasonable, but their selection is limited. If you can buy something else at the same time it makes it seems even cheaper as you offset the fixed shipping.

It's an easy job.

Looks much better in my opinion! Do they simply pop on and off?

 

[Beachbummer]

They pry off, very easy if you don't care about reuse, or carefully and you might reuse it (if they are worn, why worry?). The new ones pop in place with barely any effort.

Looks good! My kids broke most of mine may need to fix like this!

Wow, those look great @Beachbummer. I didn't know that the covers could be replaced without having to swap the entire switch.

They call them actuators, and they are available from a variety of vendors. The link is where I got mine. Like I said, $10 to play, then $1 each, so you can have all 6 for $16, and maybe get a breaker or something else to spread out the cost of shipping if it's handy. If you want to maximize the savings, maybe buddy up with someone in your town and split the $10 shipping.

Elsewhere I have seen them for $5 or $7, so even with this high shipping price they seem to be a great deal. Cheapest I found.

I think it looks good @Beachbummer . I need to replace mine still. So my question is, what color is the light when the switch is on? White?

 

[Beachbummer]

I will let you know tomorrow when I try it. Have to admit I did not really check.

Blew a plug today and realized the bilge pump breaker took a dump. Hence the unbolted panel. Here is how they look. Incandescent white/yellow.

Ez locks don't work until you install them! Just having them in the car did not protect me. Bilge pumps and floats in the car also did not help. Not the best day (concerned about water level and bilge pump not working, bailing with a bag is no fun), but kids had fun.

How much water in the engine bay?

 

[Beachbummer]

2or 3 inches maybe? There is a plug at the front and that plug was partially under water.

I saw a couple inches at the ski locker and bailed from there and it would refill as we bailed so there was water below it.

When I stopped bailing no water was touching the engine.

My fear was that for a little bit I did not know if the water was still entering our was just related to the blown plug. Once I seem to confirm the water level was stable, the concern meter went down a bit.

If the water wasn't up to the oil filter I would not have any concerns. If it was salt water I would just rinse and spray down all engine and electrical with silicone spray. You should be fine.
