Default Source for Carling rocker switches?

Has anyone found a good source for the rocker switches Mariah uses which are Carling Contura IV and V's?? I've been searching around and not having much luck finding that exact series. I found the Contura II style several places but they don't match very well. I just need 3 on/off switches with the red indicator.

    supposedly if you know the part number, you can use the "search distributor stock" function on Carling's website to locate. I don't have any of my switches handy to test it, (even though they're all currrently removed), but let us know how it works out...

    If you find a distributor that stocks the IV & V series, let me know so I can update the parts list. I believe the older Mariahs used the Contura II & III switches. If you've got some info on distributors who stock those too, pass it along so we can help others out!

    Good luck with it!

    This is hard to believe. I've been looking around for these switches and guess what, Great Lakes Skipper just listed a bunch on eBay! They have the Accessory switches used in late model Z-series boats and also lighted switches with no markings on them. They are all Carling V-Series Contura IV switches.

    Here's the accessory switches:

    and the blank lighted switches:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=320207716137

    here's a achor/nav switch

    Note that they don't list the Carling part number on there. They list a GLS part number.

    I bought a couple things off him a while back and asked what else they may have. He said they bought a bunch of Mariah parts from an auction (bankruptcy?) and they list just about everything they have on eBay.
