Not to sound like a smart Azz but, it's a boat and stuff is gonna break. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it. I have had many boats over the years and you can look at and use something one day and it is done the next. I just replaced a mascerator pump. It looked brand new while the live well pump below it looks like it has been sitting in saltwater for 10 years and works perfectly.
You are putting many electrical systems in the most corrosive environment known to man and they are gonna go bad. Over the years I have developed a good spare parts cabinet. Float switches, rocker switches, bulbs, a couple bilge pumps and numerous hose clamps of all sizes. Inevitably whatever breaks is unexpected and not in the spare parts cabinet.
It's boating!
