Bilge Pump Switches

[mikeyboy1966]

Hi all,

can anyone point me in the direction of a multiple bilge pump switch panel.

ideally 3x switches.

Bluesea do one but it’s a new product and I’ve been quoted 20 weeks for supply ,

thanks in advance.

I hade a double made for Lovejoy. 

Just an engraved panel thing with 2 separate switches in. I shall try and find a picture.

Is this the sort of thing?

Chose your switches and get the backing panel to suit, I've had a few done via fleabay with good results, draw the surround and they'll cut it with your text.

Windlass,trim tabs, and wash/wipe/horn area were done from drawing (well scribbling) at a cheap price.

Those trim tab switches were a replacement for a "rocket" type joystick, the proper bennetts option was about £120, the two momentry toggle switches and backplate cost me less than £20, that's around 20 pints in real world savings.

I am sure Brian Ward's could make you a switch panel.

This is the one I’d like but the lead time is ridiculous.

Heres a close up of the panel I had done for my wash/wipe/horn/temps, cost me £17 delivered.

The holes were spot on the right places and sizes.

The plastic plugs were just to hold it in the right place while I got the temp displays in the right screen positions.

I'm sure you can get toggle switches with on-off-mom action that would be ideal for bilge pumps giving auto-off-manual control, I'm not a fan of rocker switches and much prefer the look of plain old toggles.
