    Is Skeeter Open - Working?

    Does anyone know if the folks at skeeter are working.
    I've been waiting on a wiring harness for over 3 weeks.
    I also ordered a full back pedestal seat and it's been 6 weeks.

    Yes. They are fully open. They were shutdown 6-8 weeks and are trying to catch up.

    I've been trying to order a rocker switch for a 2015 ZX250 since April. I haven't been able to get a dealer to help me and Skeeter won't return the calls to dealers from what I'm being told. Anyone know of another place to get these and that match the rest of the switches? I've now been through 5 different dealers. It seems as though they only want your business if you are buying a new boat..

    Well my new boat needs a wiring harness! It's hurry up and WAIT!

    I guess, I am staying out of the heat and social distancing.

    If there is a number on your switch or a Manufacturer name or 3 letter acronym.
    You might try googling it and see what it is. Most are made in mexico and chiiiiina!

    mostly if it's a single pole, single throw switch, or a double pole double throw switch.
    Watch the amperage rating of course, most are 12v .5amp up to 5amp

    Good Luck

    Skeeter uses Contura V covers. Try these guys: https://rockerswitchpros.com/

    The Skeeter switch covers are not very good. The white lettering began to wear off almost immediately on mine. These covers are etched - much better quality. I replaced all of mine as well as the switches as I wanted the switches to light up at night.

    I have a Skeeter SX200 bay boat, need a fender due to an unfortunate incident! Dealer got one in, sent it to me and it was wrong. He said I ordered it by the serial number, ummm well maybe you didn't. Still waiting on the fender and a tail light.

    shout out to Gary at Foothills Marine for helping me out and getting a switch on the way to me! He was very helpful, polite, and quick to return my phone call.
