I'm sure some form of this question has been asked many times... I'm stumped...
My Nav/Anchor switch failed afew weeks back (at sea... at night). I was able to rig the lights on 2 other switches to get back though.
When I went to purchase a new switch... I didnt quite think it through... I knew I needed an Illum-On-Off-On... but didnt consider the type (DPDT/SPST). When I went to install it, I realized I purchased a DPDT (7 pin) and the old was a (4-pin), I assume is SPST? It was using a diode...
Should I just be replacing this with a like switch... or change the crimps to use the DPDT? Advantages/Disadvanges? I got a Seachoice (12991) but didnt even see a SPST 4-pin from them? Is one more common than the other? Brands?
Thanks for your insights...
