Post Waterproof sealed switch vs standard switch w/corrsion x
I've been having problems with my switches in some of the salt spray so i found these switches. Problem is they're $20 a pop, so I'm just wondering if anyone has tried these and had good luck. Or am i better off just getting a regular old toggle switch and keeping them sprayed down with corrosion x? These seem to be pretty well sealed and they say they have and internal o ring. Thanks for any feedback

To hell with that! $20 bucks is a rip off! Buy yourself a regular mom ( no) off (on) mom $6 buck switch and dip it in plastic dip. Thats what I use and it will last longer than the boat and motor!
