Genuine Carling Contura V Switch
This genuine Carling rocker switch labeled “Bilge Man/Auto” is manufactured by laser marking, NOT printing. Laser technology allows for a stunning backlight effect. It is a great upgrade to our popular Contura II style Acc rocker switch.

This rocker switch will replace any Carling V-series or Contura style rocker switch. That includes Contura style switches sold by Carling, Sierra, Blue Sea Systems, Sea-Dog, etc. It uses an industry-standard 1.45″ x 0.83″ mounting hole.
This rocker switch has 10 terminals on the back:
A hard copy of the wiring diagram will be shipped with this switch. You can also find it in the product images above, or download the PDF wiring diagram here.
This ACC illuminated rocker switch is a special Contura V style made to be laser engraved, as pictured above. It is a similar shape, but different texture and appearance than Contura V switches that are meant to be printed. As you can see in the images there is no lens… the etching actually becomes the lens. So generally folks do not mix and match these switches, even among printed Contura Vs.
We carry this switch with warm white incandescent lamps or red, blue, cool white LEDs. The illumination only affects the lighting, not the color of the engraving. Blue and cool white is our most bright color, followed by warm white, then red is the least bright.

You get what you pay for. I am impressed with the Etched Contura V rocker switch. They are pricey at $20 ea, but the quality is noticable once unpackaged, by far more superior than the typical Contura switches you find on Amazon. The etching it clean and well done, no more stickers or print wearing off. The switch mechanism feels crisp and the plasic covers doesn’t feel cheap. Well done New Wire Marine, you gained a new customer. Spend the extra, you won’t regret it. Website is user friendly and shipping was extremely fast! I was expecting to receive my switches in weeks, not days. I ordered on a Thurs and received them the following Monday.

Very useful switch. Made it possible to wire the bilge pump auto setting directly to the batteries and the manual setting after the battery switch, which prevents someone from by accident leaving the boat with the pump left on. Really fast turnaround.
