New Rocker Switch Covers?

[rrmidden]

I need two replacement Rocker Switch Covers, I've done a search on here, and found links for New Pacer Group and New Wire Marine. However, they don't have exact matches for the switches on a 2015 212X. I need the blower and bilge covers. I completely lost the Bilge Cover, but I have the Blower Cover, but the plastic pieces that snap into the switch body are broken. However, I believe the Blower and Bilge are very similar. They are orientated horizontally with a round red lens on the right hand side, with the respective blower or bilge symbol on the lens, with white, horizontal text (blower or bilge) on the left hand side.

I found custom rocker covers at rockerswitchpros.com, but the horizontal layout doesn't include a lens. And even the vertical switches don't have a full circular lens option like the OEM Covers. I checked Yamaha Sports Plaza, and they want $25 and $28 for the Blower and Bilge Assembly, but that's for the cover and the actual switch itself, which I don't need.

Has anyone found an actual OEM match for the horizontal switch covers on our Yamaha boats?

@rrmidden at the cost of $10-12 for just the covers/actuators, it was a simple and cost effective install to replace all my switch covers with the horizontal Custom Actuators you found at www.rockerswitchpros.com ... the plastic tabs on the back tend to degrade at the same rate from the UV exposure, so it might make sense to do all the actuators at this time.

The Custom Actuator illuminates through the icon you select (picture or a bilge or light etc.) and also the Text you select in the design tool. The OEM part as I recall ($25-28) were both the switch body and the actuator/cover which would have caused a more complex install.

Buy the little $3 tool for the cover removal, helps you get them off without breaking tabs. I put of the old ones in my boat toolbox to have some on-the-water backups.

Thanks, I guess, it was too early this morning to actually read everything on the Rockerswitchpros website, now that I went back to it, that makes more sense!

I bought new ones here: Contura II Printed Rocker Switch Covers | Boat Actuators | New Wire Marine

I bought the tool also for $4. The switches look great in the boat.

Yup I just did the same! The covers are slightly different. I'm going to assume they're fine.

I love my new rockers. They make what was an aging cockpit look fresh and clean.
