Common Concerns Answered
Are the wire leads long enough for all installations?
The switch includes 10-inch 14 AWG wire leads. While sufficient for many applications, some complex installations may require extending these leads using appropriately rated marine-grade connectors and wire.
How can I ensure I'm ordering the correct replacement switch?
To guarantee an exact replacement, utilize the Manufacturer Part Number (MPN: 1002009) or the specified equivalent part number (Cole Hersee 55025-04). This specific SKU ensures compatibility and the correct functionality.
Is the price justified compared to non-sealed switches?
The higher price reflects the IP67 sealing and robust construction, providing critical protection against water ingress and corrosion, which significantly extends the lifespan and reliability in harsh marine environments, outperforming non-sealed alternatives.
