    Glad you all like the results! It wasn’t a terribly expensive or difficult job! About $140 for the six switches and a good part of three days to finally get it all hooked up correctly. Well worth the $$ and time to me!

    Dimming the Kicker

    Window tint worked for me. Kind of inconvenient, though! Anyone know of a dimmable replacement unit that fits the KCM2 footprint?

    Dash Switches

    I got my Contura V switches on Friday and after a couple of days of test wiring at the kitchen table I was ready to install them! Pretty straight forward once I figured out how to create “jumpers” for the NAV/ANCHOR switch. You can just create a jumper with wire and crimp-on spade connectors but...

    Thanks! The switches I have now don’t have the backlight feature which I would love to have! I did send a request to Newwire Marine with this question and got a quick reply which I will post below. (I hope the attachment works!) My question: Are the illuminated Contura V rockers a simple “plug...

    So, it’s been about two years since the last response on this thread. Has anyone installed the illuminated rockers that are discussed here? I think I have Contura II rockers installed now on my 2017 24SSRX but I would love to change to the V to have illuminated switches. Would this even work as...
