Does anyone know of source for custom text on the carling contura switch covers. I know some have completely swapped out the switches but i would like to replace a couple covers with custom text for things like Radar, AIS etc. Similar to this found on amazon.

Seems you can’t get the older style switches customized?

Which version? There are five of them, but here is the II https://newwiremarine.com/marine-grade-switches/contura-ii/switch-covers/

Email them and they can do custom printing.

Call me old fashioned or maybe I suffer from ADD but I like the older less busy switches.

Personally, if I change the panels again I will use lights push buttons with engraved lettering on the panel gain, new tech old design.
