Switch covers

Cableguy Greg

Well, the time has come. Boating last weekend on Lake Erie I had a switch cover break and fall off. The tabs that hold the cover in place broke. So my question is for those of you that have replaced the covers, where did you get new covers from? Were they stock or custom? Was it a good experience dealing with the company? 

I am hoping to get the new covers ordered soon. Let me know your thoughts and experiences.

Are you talking about the Contura rocker switches at the helm?  I've bought a few from this place:

I got all mine on new wire marine. Make sure you get the little tool for removing the covers.

I also got them from new wire for my 342. Very easy, inexpensive, and nice looking upgrade

I forgot I had this photo. You can see what the new switches look like. One of mine is still the old one.

I had a paint bucket with a bunch of spares for our 08 boat. I was snapping those Contura covers virtually every time we went out. Must've had a bad batch from the factory. 
Often times I'd find myself stepping on them while piloting at the helm. There goes another......ffffffff.
Surprised you got this far without breaking one.

I like that look. Freshens it up. The one that you are missing is Acc.

That old switch that is still there will be my acc switch. I never replaced it cause I was unsure what to do with it. I will buy the "radio" switch new wire has and wire the ACC side of the key to it. Really annoying having to turn the key to acc to have my radio on when at anchor.
