Note to Reggie: Do you see now why I asked for a discussion of this? A
couple of folks, including me, have learned some new things about these
switches that were not known before. ;-)

JimH,
I said the exact same thing after Chuck's post and was the reason I
thought you asked the question. Now if this was my Perko switch and my
boat, I would never use JiminFla post or even Chuck's post as the
gospel. I have seen too many incorrect advice given in rec.boats to
follow any of the recommendations. At this point, I would contact Perko
directly and get their recommendations and ask them if JiminTampa
observations is correct.
