Does anybody have a line on a good electrical supply store? I need a relatively small three position (on-off-on) self centering rocker switch suitable for use as a trim switch in a boat. None of the parts stores in town have one. I've found a few web sites so far but none that self center or they are not small enough.

hi there.. just joined this site... and saw this question...

here is a small switch that should work for you...

i would probably encase it in silicone sealer after attaching the wires to it..
and use a gm weather pack connector... and make a few spares to change it out in a few minutes if need be...

you might want to open a an extra to see how the toggle is sealed... water gets into everything...

Thanks Vince, that's a great catalog. I found the exact switch I need. It's a momentary on-off-momentary on rocker.

the switch just activates the pump solonoid so it does not need to be any kind of heavy duty, that switch looks perfect.. I bet that if you took your throttle lever apart to pull the factory switch out, that 1 would slip right in. is your trim system not working or are you doing custom controls?

I know what the switch is for. The shift lever is apart and the switch is not working properly.

Your welcome, glad I could be of assistance. The catalog is free by the way, as is the Mouser Electronics catalog. Both are a permanent part of my library.
