    I just purchased a 1989 Carver 38 Santego. My cockpit courtesy light switch physically will not move. I believe the switches in the head (bathroom) are the same but there is no manufacture's name on it. Can someone tell me the manufacture's name and where can I purchase. Thank you, johnbelliott

    can't tell you who made them, I've replaced a few of them, I take to an R.V. store and they've matched them up for me...:)

    Thank you. I hope someone will see this and know the manufacture. Can you send me the name of the place that matched the switches up for you. Thanks again. johnbelliott

    We have a marine salvage place up here called Kendor's Marine (GreatLakesSkipper on eBay) that has a wall of panels and switches from virtually every boat manufacturer and every era. If you had a picture of your switch(s) they might be able to set you up.

    Skipper didn't have any, but was very quick to get back to me. I called and he ask me to email a picture. I did and he was back to me in less then 1/2 hr. Thanks again and I'm still looking.

    Please see attached picture of the switch. The switch plate is approx. 2-1/4" in height and 1 1/2" in width. Thanks, johnbelliott

    I have seen this before. Hunt up Thin Light. They offer lights with switches and that is where I have seen this before. I'm afraid I just threw some away.

    Thank you Sea Time. I have winterized and shrink wrapped my boat but I will try and get in and take out a switch and then take some really good pics. I'm surprised that I'm having such a difficult time locating these switches. The one in the cockpit is the only bad one. Thanks again, johnbelliott
