2007 RZ2 ballast switch replacement help

[retox1]

What are you guys using for replacement ballast switches on these older boats? I need to replace 2 switches and I can’t find a direct replacement. The original is a Carling V6D1 6 pin switch. It seems that Carling no longer makes this exact switch as the new V6D1 is a 4 pole.

Anyone know of a direct replacement for the original? Or am I stuck using one from wakemakers or similar and changing my wiring around to make it work?

chpthril I'm sure he has a replacement

The switch Tige used, had both pin # 7 & 8. This allowed the switch to light when in use, as well as light up when the NAV circuit was turned on. The new switches likely only have pin #7 and will only light when in use.

Ya the original switches could light up with the nav lights as well as when in use. I have a different switch here I got somewhere (can’t remember where) and while I can get the pumps to spin, I was hoping to get the lights to light up the same as with the old switches. That’s where I’m stuck. If I could find a direct replacement switch it would make it easy.

Anyone have a suggestion for me to try?
