Product Description
Horn Black Rocker Switch
Genuine Carling Contura II rocker switch labeled “Horn”. This Black Horn rocker switch is a Single Pole Single Throw (ON)-OFF switch. All of New Wire Marine’s rocker switches are labeled with durable UV stabilized ink and large format text.
This product is the ENTIRE SWITCH combo and includes both the switch body and the labeled cover. Find the Red Horn switch cover sold separately here.
Our red Horn rocker switch is provided on an (ON)-OFF switch body (ON) meaning momentary. This switch does not have a light in it but does have a red lens so it more closely matches other ON-OFF switches with indicator light.
This Black Horn 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.

How Our Switches Are Better:
- Genuine Carling switches – We’ll never try and pass off cheap Chinese knock-offs like some of our competitors. You’ve probably seen other sites list a switch as “fits carling”… that’s a red flag. All our switches and covers are the genuine article. And like all cheaply made counterfeits, you CAN tell the difference.
- Support – We know this product inside and out and are happy to help our customers. Need help wiring up one of our products, just call: (843) 297-8348
- Guarantee – While Carling does not offer a warranty, we’re so confidant in the quality, if your switch breaks or the ink wears off within 2 years, you can return it for a free replacement!
- Durable UV stabilized ink – Have trouble with labels wearing off on your switches? That’s because cheap non-UV stabilized ink was used… you won’t find that here.
- Hard cover style – We never use the “soft touch” style that will melt into a sticky mess after a few months in the sun.

Contura Styles, Lenses and Colors:
This Horn rocker switch is a Contura II style, as pictured above. Contura II is the one with the small bumps on it. We carry printed Contura II’s in red and blue lens options (selection from the menu above).
We also carry this label in Contura V style switch here. The Contura V style includes a two-lamp switch, which allows a great backlighting effect for night readability.
Typical Use for a Horn Rocker Switch:
This switch would be used for your horn when you want it to be black to match the others. We also have a red horn switch which goes great with either red or blue lens switch covers on all your other switches.
