I would like to thank everyone for their response. I followed your leads, exchanged an email with our Hero Stan, and Charles gave me great information. Today, Father’s Day, a power boater 5 slips down from me took my switch apart, we sprayed it with Marine  CRC and it is working again. I greatly appreciated his offer to help because I have very little hands on experience with marine motors. With luck I will get through the season and consider replacement over the winter.Happy Fathers Day to all. It is great to be part of a boating community that wants to help each other out. rob
