Hi all I have 2008 Four Winns 318 Vista and I want to buy from a four winns dealer Helm Panel Assembly Carling Switches 8(part#025-3933 or 025-3386), the problem is they not make them any more, I check online, skiper.com nothing can you guys help me.

Can you post a pic of the part you are looking for also, maybe it's similar to what a newer model has

Good luck, being 8 -9 years old and not being made stinks....

Not similar to current models. Get used to parts not being available, FW has been through so many ownership
changes, and cutting off suppliers in bankruptcy, etc. OEM parts from even a few years ago can even be hard to find.
With a 2002 268 Vista, your time will come soon enough if you need parts that FW no longer supplies, and it WILL happen.
Just the nature of owning older boats, happens on all brands at one time or another.

To the OP, you will be better served to source switches that are similar in size, but not exact matches to the one's you want
to replace. Carling is a good place to start. Pick the style you like, match the size and connection type, and order away.

thank you everyone for this advisees I really presided. I have one more question Battery Parallel what this switch does ?

Battery parallel switches join two batteries together in parallel it doubles the amperage, not the voltage. even if both are low, they will often start an engine

Type this in the search function up top. Battery Switch Operation

It's like using your house battery to jump start your starting battery, use in emergency situation to start with a low battery....
