I have 26 Venture and my wash down rocker switch does not work and I do not have the hose disconnect fitting that is part of the switch panel. Where can I purchase a replacement switch and hose fitting. I have tried to contact C-Dory w/no luck. I have picture--but unable to upload. Thanks..

I did find this link that is similar to my switch.

remove switch (looks like Carling switch)
inspect for markings
go to
http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/switches/rocker-switches/1114204?k=carling%20switch

the quick connect looks like a brass system sold of home garden hose use or air compressor use

tsturm-

That quick-connect hose fitting is probably an air pressure hose fitting.

However, there are two types, automotive and industrial.

See if you can get a name and/or number off of it to match it with the correct male fitting.

If you can't, rather than take the whole boat to the hardware store, buy one of each type and tell them in advance you'll be returning the "wrong" one.

And There are four or so different types of he automotive style.
Try finding one in stainless at napa or your hardware store.
Have a good one! Wink

You didn't mention this but I assume you checked the fuse. Very Happy
And if the fuse is good make sure you have power to the switch.
Then if all this looks good run a jumper to the pump and make sure it works.

yes and check the voltage at the switch with digital volt meter

It might be fine and fuse is blown
