Carlingswitch (ON)/OFF/(ON) double pole V series Contura rocker switch body. This is a Switch Body Only. Actuators are sold separately. (ON)/OFF/(ON) configuration, double pole double throw. momentary-on/off/momentary-on 12V clear independent lamp in the 1 top position. An independent lamp has both a positive and negative terminal as opposed to the standard switches that just have a negative terminal. Independent lamps can be lit independently of the actuator position as opposed to standard dependent lamps that get their power internally when the actuator moves to the on position. 8 terminal; Terminals are for the lamp, Terminal #7 is the ground and Terminal #8 is the power. Terminals #2 and #5 are power in and the other two pairs of terminals #3,#6 and #1,#4 are power out. The switch is off when the actuator is in the middle position. Terminals #3 and #6 are power out when the actuator is in the up position. Terminals #1 and #4 are power out when the actuator is in the down position. At times these switches are wired differently. The important thing to remember is how the switch operates. When the bottom of the actuator is depressed, the middle two terminals make contact with the top two (active) terminals that are side by side (ignore the very top 2 terminals for the light, for the moment) . When the top of the actuator is depressed, the middle two terminals make contact with the bottom two terminals. As with all double pole switches, the two sides are independent of each other. So the terminals on the left side of the switch never make contact with the terminals on the right side of the switch unless you install an external jumper wire. Common for Marine, RV, automotive, and other 12V DC applications. Windlass Main switch, Main Battery Disconnect, Sea Ray part# 681484 681494
Why OEM Electrical Switches Matter
OEM electrical switches are engineered for your boat's voltage and amperage specifications. They deliver reliable operation, proper electrical protection, and long-term durability in marine environments. Using correct switches prevents electrical system failures, fires, and equipment damage.
Quality electrical components ensure system safety and reliability. Always use OEM switches rated for your boat's electrical system specifications.
Quick FAQs
Will this switch fit my boat?
Designed for Sea Ray and other standard boats. Electrical switches must match your boat's voltage and amperage specifications. Verify compatibility before ordering. Contact [email protected] with your boat model and electrical system details.
What's the difference between Single Pole and Double Pole?
Single Pole switches control one circuit. Double Pole switches control two independent circuits simultaneously. Choose based on your boat's electrical configuration. Contact [email protected] if unsure which type you need.
What's the difference between Momentary and Locking?
Momentary switches activate only while pressed. Locking (or toggle) switches stay in position until toggled again. Choose based on your application. Wrong type can cause electrical system issues.
Can I use any electrical switch?
No. Electrical switches must match your boat's voltage (12V, 24V, etc.) and amperage rating exactly. Using wrong switches risks electrical fires and system failure. Always use OEM switches rated for your specific boat system. Never substitute with automotive or general-purpose switches.
Do you have switches for older boat models?
Yes. We stock electrical switches for boats from 1980s-current production. Contact [email protected] with your boat's model year and electrical system specifications.
