I have a 2001 280DA with twin V6’s.
The starboard starting rocker is bad.
Does anyone know the specific switch I will need to replace it?
I would like to have the new one on-hand when I start the job.
Thanks.
Picture attached.

That looks good Not too worried about the different label. More worried about it physically fitting in the existing hole. I assume these are somewhat standardized size?

@KevinC on this site may stock them. Check with him at cove marine.
 
Contura Rocker Switches are all the same cut out size, and sometimes the cover is swappable between new and old. What are your is happening with your old switch. We thought ours was bad and it turned out to be the relay to the fuel pump.
 
The switch mechanism itself is broken inside. It is no longer “clicking” when I push it to the Start position. Just kind of mushies it up and back down. If I tap on it up pretty sharply, I can get it to make contact. Seems to be broken internally.

I am not quite so OCD that I can’t handle the covers not matching. It would bother me, but not enough to spend another $30 to replace both switches.

I will give this one a try. Thanks.
