Perko Battery Switch Trouble

Here is the link to an excellent article posted by Steve Cyr on his Stella Blue website. Steve has done a great job of documenting his projects, maintenance tips etc and sharing them with others via his website.

The article explains the problem & fix he experienced with his Perko Batty Sw.
Note this is a hidden problem unless the switch is disassembled for inspection
