Getting tire of replacing tab switches. The original instatrim/Bennett ones weren’t waterproof and died after a few years of washdowns and salt intrusion. I got an expensive waterproof Instratrim one 5 years ago but the rubber membrane went insane and got all gooey and disintegrated. I see the new Bennett one is waterproof but looks cheesy. Anyone else have issues?

Yes. I’m looking for a better mousetrap myself. I don’t get it, they are supposed to be able to withstand the weather but not so much. Tired of products that are crap.

I've got a box of spring loaded two-pole, two-throw switches. The switch rests in the middle and you push up/down. Like 50 of them....
