FAQs For Teleflex Switches

I lost my keys to the ignition on my boat. What can I do?

Sierra offers replacement keys for as little as $5.00 per set. At the top of the switch on the face you will see a letter printed. If your switch has a rubber boot nut you will need to remove it to see the letter. Call Sierra Technical Service at 800-648-3976 with that letter code and we can send you a brand new set of keys.

The console on my boat gets very wet when running in rough water. Even though I have a rubber boot nut, water has intruded and corroded my terminals. Does Sierra have a solution?

Yes, Sierra now offers many switches with a potted waterproof body and tinned copper wire leads. Connect the wire leads to your ignition wires using a waterproof butt connector.

I have a boat with several Sierra RotoSwitches installed in the panel. The switches still work, but the lights no longer function. Do I have to replace the entire switch?

No, the light module can be replaced without replacing the switch. The switch has to be removed from the panel. Remove the old module and replace it with a new one. Retail price for the module is only $7.99. Call Sierra Technical Service at 800-648-3976 for more information

I am installing a new piece of electronic equipment and need to install a fuse in the circuit. I am concerned as the area where the fuse needs to go might get wet. Does Sierra have a solution?

Yes, Sierra offers a waterproof fuse holder P/N FS35870. The fuse holder uses automotive style blade fuses (ATO).
