The helm switches for our Tiara 3500 Open are ready to be replaced. They all work well, but are looking a bit shabby. They're a combination of black, grey and red; some rockers, some push & release; and some with 1 or 2 LEDs.
Anyone got a good source for this style of switch?

You can purchase just the switch covers without replacing the switches. They pop off and new ones snap on. I have seen booths at the boat shows with huge selections of switch covers in different colors and engravings. Look on line for rocker switch covers. You might start by getting the switch manufactures name. Just for a quick look I typed "Carling Rocker Switch Cover" in eBay and came up with 2,151 choices. Capt. George

I got all my replacement covers for my 3500 from Tiara they also thru in the plastic tool to remove the covers. You need to know how many with one light, how many with two lights, how many with no lights and the color of the covers. The price was minimal .

I looked all over and just replaced all of mine on 37' open. I went with the screened/ labeled ones with red lens that light up and look great.
Go here they have the best selection, only place I could find all the labels I needed. If don't see something call them they have some that don't show online.
They sell soft cover hard covers and colors, buy the plastic tool to pop the switch cover off the switch. They are very inexpensive, if the switch is good and the cover is shot new covers are all you need. I did my 31 open lat year. just match up the ones with no light window, 1 light window or 2 light windows.

Thanks in advance for any help...trying to figure out if these are Contra III switches...I believe that is what they are but wanted to confirm. The image is from our 2001 3100 Open. I believe the II & III are interchangeable but thought the best advice would be from others who have experience.
