    Megalive Switch Ideas

    Currently just plugging my live into a 12v receptacle on the bow. I plan to run live power to the main battery. I would like to put this on a switch so I can just turn it on and off easily. What's everyone doing as far as live power switch? Just a basic toggle style?

    I have a waterproof toggle switch mounted at the console.

    Basic toggle with a custom cover. Both Live and 360 are powered from my electronics terminal block in the rod locker.

    I also use these for both my Mega Live and Mega 360. They are available in different sizes, LED Colors, and finishes.

    This is the one I use on my bow to turn on electronics up there. 12v, push once for on, push again for off (that's the key piece.. I bought the wrong one the first time).

    New Wire Marine maker custom covers. That's where I got mine. Picked the symbol I wanted and added the text.
