Symtec Grip Switch options

Flush mount below left pocket is where I got mine. I just squirt WD-40 around the rocker once in a while, and let it seep in, just to keep the moisture out. It is not a water resistant switch, and is pretty open around the round rocker.

Great idea with the WD-40 - I've had 2 switches fail so far. After the first failed I ordered 3 so that I'd have 2 spares. With shipping I think that was $12 or $15 - shipping on one made just ordering one silly.

Best thing to do with the switch is to disassemble it drill a drain hole and use dielectric grease on the contacts. It should last much longer that way and require less maintenance.

In a pinch when my switch failed I just jumped it out so that I could get home warm.
