The original subject was "Re: Is There a better Switch".
But is it waterproof? That's I think what the whole problem is
with the aftermarket replacement swtiches on the market now -
they just aren't intended to be left out to the weather all the
time. When mine goes I will probably replace it with a
waterproof marine switch.
Though the generic universal replacement switch that was on
my 8n when I bought it has lasted 30+ years, as long as I
remember to blast it out with CR every year, and give the key a
little extra jiggle when I turn it on to set the contacts. But then
the generics were still made in the USA in those days, and
probably a lot better than the ones sold now.
