weatherproofing switches

[PabloPicasso]

How do you weather proof your on deck/in-cockpit electrical switches (those of you that have them).

Are there proprietry weather proof switches that you have found do the bussiness or fail miserably? Which to get/avoid?

You can get quite nice looking IP67 switches but they aren't cheap.
(IP means ingress protection, the number indicates the level of protection)

You can get rubber johnnies for toggle switches

Bulgin brand connectors/plugs are good, come ready supplied with some gear, e.g. tillerpilots & can be bought separately from different suppliers. Not sure if they do switches though...
