## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by R***T on March 2, 2024*

Fixed my livewell issue no problem. Easy install and seems like good quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great switch
*by R***J on September 4, 2024*

Also has light in the switch when on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked like a champ
*by I***Y on August 18, 2018*

These worked great. Fit well in Blue Sea Contura brackets. Some of the female clips I installed were tight, but they stayed put with lots of installation pressure. BTW - don't worry about ground circuit wire size for these switches. The ground is only supporting the LED in the switch. Load wires need to reflect distance and amperage of circuit. I ran 4 ground circuits for the switches in 18 GA, where the hot LOAD wires were 12 and 14 GA because they were switching significant wattage circuits.
