Product Description

Backlit Rocker Switch – Main Fuel/Aux


This genuine Carling rocker switch labeled “Main Fuel/Aux” is manufactured by laser etched marking, NOT printing.   Laser technology allows for a stunning backlight effect.  It is a great upgrade from our popular Contura II style Acc rocker switch.

This product is the ENTIRE SWITCH combo (Jumper wiring NOT included) and includes both the ON/ON switch body and the labeled cover.  Find the laser-etched MAIN FUEL/AUX switch cover sold separately here.

Switch Features:

  • Stunning readability in the dark
  • Dual lamps – Independent top lamp for backlight, bottom Dependent indicator light
  • ON-ON rocker switch with no center off position.
  • 4 illumination color options: warm white, cool white, blue or red
  • Laser-etched – no ink to wear off

How Does the Backlighting Work?

  • Laser marking the cover allows light to be visible only where we have marked
  • Text and symbol markings illuminate – not the normal ink over a lens
  • Top light (Independent) is an externally triggered backlight – normally wired to the nav light circuit
  • Bottom light (Dependent) is now the indicator.  It lights when the switch is ON

How Our Switches Are Better:

  1. 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 are the genuine article.  And like all cheaply made counterfeits, you CAN tell the difference.
  2. Night Illumination – Unlike printing, our laser marking technology allows stunning readability in the dark.
  3. Support – We know this product inside and out and are happy to help our customers.  Need help wiring up one of our products, call us… seriously: (843) 297-8348
  4. Guarantee – While Carling does not offer a warranty, we’re so confident in the quality; that if your switch breaks within 2 years, you can return it for a free replacement!

Will It Fit?

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.

On Contura Styles and Colors:

This Main Fuel/Aux Combo is an illuminated rocker switch and includes a special Contura V style cover, made to be laser etched, as pictured above.  It has a slightly wider shape and a different texture and appearance than the printed Contura II switch covers.  As you can see in the switch cover image there are no Red or Blue lenses for the switch lamps to shine through… the laser-etched text/symbols become the lens.  So generally folks, you probably don’t want to mix the Contura V & Contura II switch covers for a cohesive panel look.

We carry this switch with warm white incandescent lamps or red, blue, and cool white LEDs.  The illumination only affects the lighting, not the color of the engraving.  Blue and cool white are our brightest lamp colors, followed by warm white, and then red is the least bright.
