I'm finishing up replacing fuse box and wires on my 228 and I would like to replace the dome and switches mounted on my electric box. Can someone point me to where I can order it?

On my 1997 268 Islander there are two switches on the dome light. The dome light switch . Off - dome light WHITE on - off - dome light RED on. The other switch is for the spreader lights Off - On.
The switch frequently burns up under the load of regular spreader lights. Higher amperage switches are available from Digit-Key. I would suggest going to LED spreader lights too.
My spreader light switch went out too. I found them at DigiKey.com - great price - order a couple of them for spares. Same vendor part that OEM used.
512PB-ND $1.94 Spreader light switch (SPST 10 amp)
522PB-ND $2.52 Dome light switch (SPDT 2 amp) << Digit-Key shows this as a $12.00 part now.
Here is the whole thread.

Spreader lights
I am in the process of buying a 2005 228 seafarer with a hard top. The speaker lights are mounted on the hard top. The person I am buying boat from doesn’t know how to turn on the spreader lights. Can anyone offer some assistance? Thanks
