Ever wanted to be able to switch your cabin lights on and off from more than one location?

Here's how!

For switching from two places, say the cabin itself or the cot.
You neen two switches, they can be any style, but they must be
Single Pole Double Throw Switches (SPDT).
Sometimes called "ON/ON", they have two positions.

You can also use Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) switches, you just use one pole.

 

 



 

 

 

For switching from three places, say the bridge (ever climbed down to find you had left the bridge lights on?) the aft deck or the saloon.

You need three switches, they can be any style, but two of them must be Single Pole Double Throw Switches (SPST), amd the other must be a Double Pole Double Throw Switches (DPDT).

Or you can use three DPDT, just use one pole.

 

 

 

 

 

Use our part number SW22604, it is a DPDT Switch.
