Title: Replacement OEM Switches
Post by: capestriper on June 27, 2008, 10:34:03 AM

Hi,

Just bought my first aquasport (2000 Osprey 200 w/ 2007 DF140) and of course I'm immediately upgrading it.

I'm adding some add'l electronics that I want to run through one of the unused switch places in the original (immaculate) dash panel.  I've run a dozen searches on the site with no luck - does anyone know where to get switches that will match the OEM parts?

Thanks for your help.

Here's a pic of my new ride:

Welcome aboard capestriper  :!:  :!:
Nice looking rig  8)
You can go to most marine surplus places and look through their inventory and probably find what you're looking for.  Usually it's the handle part you're looking for, not necessarily the switch itself.
Did you look in the Resource Forum and see if there is a marine Electronics link somewhere in there?  I'm sure there is and there should also be a marine surplus link or 2.

Off topic - what is up with that water line on the rocks behind your boat?  The docks don't appear to be able to move that high  - hard to see, are they floaters - so I'm confused  :scratch:
And if it is a tide line, you're definitely NOT from FL. :wink:

Thanks for the info on the switches - i'll take a look around.

Yep that is a floating dock and that is the tide line.  This pic came from the guy i bought the boat from - I'm pretty sure it's in Dorchester, Mass (part of Boston Harbor, just south of the city.)
