Marine Rocker Switches for Seamless Control
Whether you're upgrading or replacing, a marine-rated rocker switch ensures that your boat's electrical system responds the way you expect. From lighting to pumps to accessories, choosing the right switch helps maintain safety, reliability, and performance on the water.
Type of Marine Rocker Switches
Standard Non-Illuminated Rocker Switches
Simple, reliable on/off operation — ideal for lighting, pumps, and accessory circuits where indicator lighting isn't required.
Illuminated Rocker Switches
These switches feature built-in indicator lights to show the "on" status — useful for dimly-lit cabins, dashboard lighting, or accessory circuits you need to monitor.
Heavy-Duty & High-Amp Rocker Switches
Designed for higher current demands (e.g., trolling motors, winches, large pumps), these switches offer stronger internal contacts, higher amp ratings, and rugged materials.
Modular & Panel-Mount Rocker Switch Systems
For customized switch panels, these modular systems combine multiple rocker switches into one clean dashboard unit — streamlining wiring and creating organized controls.
Key Features to Consider
When selecting a marine rocker switch, focus on:
- Marine-grade construction: corrosion-resistant contacts, sealed housings, reinforced plastic or metal frames.
- Rated ampacity: ensure the switch is rated for the current draw of your device.
- Mounting dimensions: panel cut-out size, bezel thickness, depth behind panel.
- Illumination and indicator options: whether you need built-in LEDs or back-lighting.
- Terminal type & wiring compatibility: blade vs. screw terminals, single vs. dual circuit.
- Certifications: Look for IP ratings (e.g., IP66/IP68), UL or ISO approval for marine use.
When to Replace Your Marine Rocker Switch
Consider replacing the switch if you notice:
- Indicator lights flicker or don't function
- The switch feels loose or wobbly in the mounting.
- Corrosion or pitting is visible on the terminals or actuator.
- The switch overheats, clicks audibly under load, or causes voltage drop.
- You're adding new high-draw accessories and your current switch isn't rated for the load

Frequently Asked Questions on Marine Rocker Switches
What's the difference between illuminated and non-illuminated rocker switches?
Illuminated rocker switches include built-in indicator lights that show when the circuit is active. Non-illuminated switches are simpler but provide the same on/off functionality without a visual indicator.
How do I know if a rocker switch is rated properly for my device?
Check the current draw (in amps) of the device you're controlling, then select a switch with an amp rating equal to or greater than that draw — for marine use, always err on the side of higher rating.
Can I install a rocker switch myself or should I get a professional?
If you're comfortable with basic wiring, disconnecting power, mounting panels, and verifying polarity & ground, you can install it yourself. If not, or if the circuit powers critical systems, consider a professional install for safety and reliability.
What are "marine-rated" rocker switches?
These are switches built specifically for use on boats — with corrosion-resistant housing, sealed against moisture and salt spray, materials that resist vibration and UV exposure, and certifications (like IP ratings) for marine environments.
