2000 Sea Ray 180, Carling/ Contura Switches... Blue or Green? It's actually Aqua...

[User Error]

Hey all I'm trying to add a 5th Carling Rocker to my switch panel for interior LEDS and I want it to match my other switches and work as OEM... My dash lights are a light blue almost aqua color... and I can't figure out if they are calling these Blue or Green? Any help would be appreciated. I am looking for an illuminated switch with the 3 finger grooves top and bottom on the actuator with the "aqua" light in one of the slots showing it's on and would preffer Cabin Lights or Courtesy Lights Verbage or logo on the actuator... Anyone know where I can buy this switch at a reasonable price? I think I need the V1DA (Thats what the others are). The V1D1 looks like the same switch to me but not sure... any help would be appreciated...

You might try your local Sea Ray dealer. The main thing you'll be looking for is the face plate. I know we have a bin of odds-n-ends faceplates - I'm sure most dealers do. I would think that the dealers down in Florida might even have more stuff in inventory than us.

There's a company called Flounder Pounder Marine (online) that sometimes has things like that, too - you might try them.

Hey so i've been looking thru the switches on FP... and I can't figure out if I need the one with the Green LED in the switch and a clear lens or the "Illuminated switch" with the blue lens... any ideas of what was in my boat? Kinda sucks they have a $25 min order the switch is no where near that much... and I hate just buying crap i don't need...

Blue lens. But seriously, try a local dealer. I think we charge about $2 for a lens cover - I'd think most dealers are about the same. You'd probably save some time (and money) by doing that. Just call them and tell them what you want - they'll get the right thing. Tell them you want a lighted switch and the lens cover should be for "cockpit lights".
