Boat Hut Insight
When fitting switches on a boat, it’s worth remembering that 304 grade stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant but not completely immune to saltwater exposure over long periods. If you are installing these switches in locations exposed to salt spray or splash, consider periodic cleaning and inspection to maintain their pristine appearance and reliable function. Also, the small 19 millimetre mounting hole means you can integrate these switches into tight dash panels without sacrificing panel strength, which is a real bonus in cramped boat cockpits.
Tip: For safety and ease of use, wire the LED ring to indicate system power rather than just backlighting. This way, you get a clear visual confirmation that the circuit is live, which can prevent accidental damage or confusion when multiple systems are involved.
