Sea-Dog 420101-1
Maintained switch for one circuit; requires the original two-terminal wiring arrangement.
Sea-Dog Marine Toggle Switches: Maintained vs Momentary
Replacing a boat or RV toggle means matching how it operates, not merely how it looks. Sea-Dog makes two-position on/off, three-position selectors and momentary versions with different pole and terminal counts. All six switches compared here are 15A at 12V DC; the separate 420479 cap is protective hardware.

| MPN | Switch action | Terminals | Electrical rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 420101-1 | Maintained SPST on/off | 2 blades | 15 A / 12V DC |
| 420102-1 | Momentary SPST on/off | 2 blades | 15 A / 12V DC |
| 420103-1 | Maintained DPDT on/off/on | 6 blades | 15 A / 12V DC |
| 420104-1 | Momentary DPDT on/off/on | 6 blades | 15 A / 12V DC |
| 420108-1 | Maintained SPDT on/off/on | 3 blades | 15 A / 12V DC |
| 420109-1 | Momentary SPDT on/off/on | 3 blades | 15 A / 12V DC |
| 420479-1 | Cover accessory, not a switch | No electrical terminals | Not applicable |
Before selecting a replacement: The waterproof 420479 is a cap accessory, not a toggle switch. The six electrical switches each require their own circuit function and terminal layout. SPST, SPDT and DPDT cannot be substituted purely because the lever fits a similar opening.
What to check before ordering
- Record the original Sea-Dog number and confirm whether the switch stays in an on position or returns to off when released.
- Count the blades: two for SPST, three for SPDT and six for DPDT in this series.
- Keep the motor and reversing requirements in mind. A double-pole switch can operate a different circuit from a single-pole model.
- Verify the original mounting dimensions, toggle lever clearance and the suitability of any protective cap.
- Disconnect the battery supply before electrical service and follow the equipment wiring diagram.
