Default Switch Question

How big are the standard rocker switches for the visible part and for the holes behind the switch?

I'm redoing a dash panel and thinking about placing the controls there, rather than cutting console. Need the layout dimensions. Thanks!

ES2000 Rocker Switch Control requires a foot print of 2-13/16" x 2-13/16" and a 2-1/2" hole to mount in.

Thanks Tabman. You're the greatest. I've left room in my layout for that size switch.

The boat is a Chris Craft Stinger 311, 400 horses of brand new Suzuki power. I'm thinking that 24" x 9s with a single ram would be a good match for this boat. I test drove one just like it that had Bennett 12" x 12s and it seemed under-tabbed to me, although that test was in calm water. Many boats of this size and shape have the long K-tabs, but I think they look like too much bling.

What size would you recommend?

Savage,

I agree a set of 24" x 9" Tabs would be a good match for the boat. If you run into space issues using the 24" x 9" Tabs you could alos use the 18" x 12" Tabs and get very good results.
