Trojan Boat Forum

I first apologize if I have posted twice. I cant find my post from earlier today. It seems all I did was send myself a message.

89 11m international need to replace all my push button switches on the helm. Where might I find them? first mate marine? beacon?

New here so any help I can get will be appreciated.

thanks

Start with Becon . what is wrong with your old switchs ?

12 of the 16 dont work. the boat sat for 2.5 yrs. I found the switches for 55. a piece........ theres got to be somewhere else.... I'm looking for a salvage yard now...

the ones I found say "manufactured by Beacon" below the picture.

I thank you for the help

hi before you spend any money on the switches just sray them down with wd 40 or your favorite spray. i just bought a boat that sat that long as well and only 3 worked. spray tops and from underneath a few times and just keep pushing them. every one of mine freed up and work well now . good luck

thanks. I'll give blaster or wd a try. will post my results

I tried the pb blaster. I got 3 to work. now I must share where I found new ones and the price.

I had to drimell tool the round holes out to accomodate new square switches. it took 47 min to do 14 of them. the Case of the switch is the same size as the old ones. they are made by the same company Marquart. the cost was 10.02 per switch and 20.00 shipping. sorry if this upset Beacon but the price difference was 14 pieces at 160.00 OR 770.00

to me the 47 min to drimell the holes was well worth 600.00

drop me a line if you want more information

thanks for everyones help
