I have a 2005 260DA and 4 top toggle switches are bad. I ordered some off brand switches and they work for most of the control panel but will not work for hatch lift and running lights, and that company does not make the ones I need. I really would like to get the same exact stock switches so that they are all matched up.

Stock switches are CARLING, I need seven 0428's and one 0432 (all blue). I've been searching online and I am unable to find these numbers, I find others but not the ones I need, even on their site.

Has anyone replaced these? Where did you get them? Is there a better replacement?

Thank you

Looks like that is it... Thank you to both.
 
@Medic A, not sure if you still have your same boat, but wanted to ask what switch you actually bought off DigiKey ? I also have a non working Engine Hatch Switch with the blue tip light but cannot seem to locate that exact switch on the site.

Any help locating this switch would be greatly appreciated

would anyone in this group know where to locate the Carling 0429 Engine Hatch Switch with a blue tip light ?

This would be for a 2005 260 Sundancer

did
 
Lazy daze, thanks for replying.

I should have clarified.

I did call and they did not have that specific part.

Ive also tried a Sierra switch, but that didn’t work either

I do not have a specific dealer other than calling a marine max which I also tried mine in Somers Point NJ

was hoping someone on here had any other recommendations

thanks
Matt
 
If they're not able to help you, Matt, try another dealer - at this point you'd just be making a phone call so it really doesn't matter who. There's currently close to 200 of those switches on hand at Sea Ray so they should be able to get one for you. Your panel only uses, I believe, 3 different styles of switches. You might want to order an extra one or two of each style just to have them as spares, ready to go.
 
@Lazy Daze i hear you man.

Some of these parts are really hard to find or come across

as an example a walk thru center window ...

mine broke last year in a storm and I called dealers and marine Max’s all up and down the coast with no luck.
Flounder pounder, Great Lakes skipper, Taylor made (no longer carries), eBay, Craig’s list etc

@Lazy Daze your right about the multitude of products on hand, and I’m sure all these spare parts exist, just who can help locate them .....
