Cole Hersee is a long standing name in heavy duty electrical switching for boats and vehicles. Find ignition switches, toggle and push button switches, and the boot seals to protect them.

Picking the Right Cole Hersee Switch

Match the switch to the job. Ignition switches come in 2, 3, and 4 position brass and plastic body versions, so choose the position count your engine and accessory wiring calls for. Brass bodies hold up well in the marine environment, and a rubber boot adds a layer of protection against spray and moisture.

Toggle and Push Button Options

For accessory circuits, heavy duty toggle switches in SPST, DPDT, and momentary configurations let you control pumps, lights, and electronics. Push button switches in 10A and 35A ratings handle higher loads, and gasket sealed or rubber capped versions keep water out of the contacts. Add a matching boot seal to extend the life of any panel mounted switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What position ignition switch do I need?

It depends on your wiring. 2 position switches handle simple off and on, while 3 and 4 position switches add accessory and start positions. Match the count to your engine setup.

Are Cole Hersee switches marine rated?

Cole Hersee builds heavy duty switches with brass bodies and sealing boots that hold up in the spray and moisture found on boats.

What does DPDT mean on a toggle switch?

DPDT stands for double pole double throw, which lets one switch control two separate circuits or reverse a circuit, useful for items like bilge pumps.

Do I need a boot seal?

A boot or boot seal covers the switch and protects the contacts from water and corrosion. It is a smart add for any switch exposed to spray.
