Which ones did you DIYers use for your tank? The cheap ones I got off ebay rusted on me. Thanks

We are selling the BEP brand pretty pricey at $27.99 but anything with a "marine" applications is spendy.

I wish hobie would own up to all their failed switches with the version 1 bait tank. We should have an option to send the pull switch in and exchange with the new v2 bait tank switch.

True. Thanks Andy. I'll take a look into it.

I bought these and they are holding up pretty well without rust - a pack of 4 for $8

West Marine sells some Cole Hersee switches I've used with good results.

Recently saw these change to the BEP brand at WM on the shelf look the same.

The last one that I installed has been working for at least a few years now, I don't recall if I bought it at OEX or at west marine but it was a marine grade switch. I know its easy to go cheap but sometimes going cheap will end up costing you more.
