Question
get-the-net
I have a question for you all.
I just put in a new toggle switch bank in my boat which features lighted switches for the bilge,livewell,int lights, running lights, etc. The problem is they stay lit all the time even when each switch is off. Do any of you guys have toggle switches like these and if so do you worry about them running your battery out? I thought I had it solved when I linked all the other switches to the main "power" one so when I shut it off all the other lighted switches went out. But the "power" switch stays lit. Do I need to install an unlighted "master" switch to cut the power from the battery altogether? I feel like I'm just adding more things that can go wrong. For now I unhooked the battery. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
