    does anyone know the source of the pressure switch below? It’s a momentary switch used on the step of my Viking. Pretty common I think but I can’t seem to find one.
    Thank you

    Viking is really good at stocking parts. Try giving them a call. The s/s button is most likely screwed onto a typical off of the switch momentary switch from the likes of Cole Hersee or similar. You have to take a picture of the back side of it (the actual switch).

    It's a pressure switch that is RTV'd into the step. I'm right by Riviera Beach so I'll see if I'm in luck with Viking.

    Turns out I was in luck. It was a Piezo switch. The Viking yard had 4 of them. $35 out the door which is a world record for low price at a boat yard.

    There are still good people who respect boat owners, lots of them at the Viking Yacht Center.

    This is my first Viking and I can't emphasize enough how strong their follow up and service. This was a $35 non critical part and they jumped through hoops to find it for me and have it out when I got there.

    I've ordered a few parts from Viking , I find them very reasonable with prices for parts.
