Same.
My old DIY bait tank had a very nice waterproof toggle switch housed in the pelican case and this never failed, but on my hobie after three bad switches, I just bypassed the switch and went straight to the battery. Problem solved. |

There's only one good place for that switch, the trash!

Agree on cutting out the switch. Use a shrink tube connector or a wire nut filled with dielectric grease. If you really like having a switch, you could get a livewell v2 switch and mount it on the side of your tank in the highest flattest section you can find. The V2 switch is far superior.
