    Really stupid question about Aux. switches.

    Aux switches are wired to power so the light when on, this is only to show the switch is on, if something is to be actually controlled by the switch that would have to be wired seperately to the same switch on a different terminal which is seperate from the lighted switch terminal.

    Your local marine store should have it or changer it, just give them the name of manufacturer, my local store in NJ (Lockwood marine) had it on the shelf, west probably does too The vinigar treatment should happen also as specified by manufacturer

    stanky head! wheres leak?

    Do you perform required service? First you need to add about 1-2 pints of vinigar and dry pump it into the system and let stand for 24 hours, longer will not hurt anything Yearly replacement off pump bellow gasket also required, no big deal to replace I bet that sovles your problem
