Sea-Dog 420479-1 Waterproof Cap for 3/8 Inch Toggle Switches

The Sea-Dog 420479-1 is a waterproof cap designed to fit over 3/8 inch panel-mount toggle switches, such as Sea-Dog's SPST On/Off toggle switch, to protect the switch mechanism from water intrusion in marine environments. It is constructed of stamped brass with injection molded nylon and polycarbonate components, giving it corrosion resistance combined with a sealed, weather-tight fit over the switch lever. The cap is sold separately from the toggle switch itself, allowing boat owners to add waterproofing to a compatible switch already installed on their panel, or to replace a lost or damaged cap.

This cap is intended for 3/8 inch maximum panel thickness toggle switches and is a simple, low-cost way to extend the service life of a helm or accessory switch exposed to spray, rain, or washdown. It ships as a single component with no additional hardware required beyond the cap itself.
