Hi All,
I was down at the local Radio Shack yesterday looking for the bits and pieces needed to hook up an electric pump in my kayak.
While there, I found a rubber cap that goes over the top of a toggle switch and makes it WATERPROOF. You still need to seal the switch into a waterproof box but the problem has always been the part sticking out of this box.
They come in 2 sizes. The part number is 275-1598 for the larger size and they cost me $4.99 Can. for two; one red, one black.
I now have all the pieces for the system so I will put the switch and box together tomorrow (I left my soldering iron at work!), throw it in a sink full of water and let you know how it worked.
