Worked like a champ
These worked great. Fit well in Blue Sea Contura brackets. Some of the female clips I installed were tight, but they stayed put with lots of installation pressure. BTW - don't worry about ground circuit wire size for these switches. The ground is only supporting the LED in the switch. Load wires need to reflect distance and amperage of circuit. I ran 4 ground circuits for the switches in 18 GA, where the hot LOAD wires were 12 and 14 GA because they were switching significant wattage circuits.

NOT DAYLIGHT VIEWABLE
These work fine but the ones they replaced were daylight viewable. These are not. It's too soon to know how water resistant they are.

Great switch! Perfect for those who want a light ...
Great switch! Perfect for those who want a light indicating the switch is on, but don't want to be able to see that light indicator from the space station. Matches the interior lighting of my car (Suzuki SX4) perfectly. If wired correctly, the light is off when the switch is off. The light on the switch turns on only when the switch is on... To a previous reviewer: if your switch light is on all the time, switch the connections on your load and positive terminals on the switch. That should fix your problem -- an incorrectly wired switch should not negatively affect the reviews of this item.

EZ Replacement
I purchased a Blue Sea Systems 8372 panel switch in 2013 and after surviving years of frequent use and Hurricane Irma one of the switches finally gave out. This was a reasonably priced replacement and installation was a no-brainer. Looking forward to more years of enjoyment.

Works great on 17' Grumman canoe
Great switch. Using them on the Blue Sea Systems Contura switch panel on my Grumman 17' canoe. For the spades on the back of the switch, these connectors worked perfectly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KG5S6GY?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_16 Female Male Fully Insulated Wire Crimp Terminalas Nylon Connectors Wiring Spade

LED too dim to indicate that it's on.
The LED in this switch is so dim, you cannot tell it's on, even in the shade, nevermind on the helm, on a bright day. I had to wait until dark to confirm that it worked. This switch IS NOT SUITABLE for a helm station or anywhere in daylight. Very surprising as it is a Blue Sea System switch which were generally of good quality back in the day. Obviously, quality control has slipped at BSS. I will keep it as a spare to use indoors and source one with a brighter LED.
