I found a place to get reasonably priced Marinette switches usually from stock (most places have a 6 week lead time). The prices below are a bit dated but I think the premise still holds. The website is www.PocoSales.comMarinette Yachts sells the same switches for $30 and most other distributors sell them for $14 - $20. They are $9.25 at Poco. I d find a distributor that had 1 or 2 of the 3 versions for a bit less ($8.50) but I decided to order them all from the same place. Marinette uses them in 3 current ratings: 10A, 15A, and 20A. Airpax T11-2-10.0A-01-11A-V $9.25 Airpax T11-2-15.0A-01-11A-V $9.25 Airpax T11-2-20.0A-01-11A-V $9.25 For those who may not know, marinette used aircraft quality switches with built-in circuit breakers. I am in the process of repairing it but over the years Miss Cleo's owners typically replaced the proper switches with standard hardwares store toggles and panel mount fuses in a variety of interesting and creative (but not good) configurations. I'd guess that many Marinettes suffered the same fact.

Whoa There! You may want to add the "S" designation to the 5th part of the Snapack part number. That will give you the #6 screw terminals that slide on the toggle switch terminals. You will need them for frozen fittings or to add new circuts. Marinette used screw terminals to hook up the breakers. I had to make a bunch of phone calls to arrange for a sack of them separately after I used the same part numbers you just listed.

Good catch Yooper - so far I have not needed more screw terminals because I had a bunch of the slide-on screw terminals
Also, I got an update on the cost of the switches - they are now $12.50 but that compares very favorable to $40 elsewhere.

I just ordered 12 of these breakers from them. They didn't have the "s" designation in stock (6 weeks), so I got the standards.
Heads up - if you order a minimum of 10 (different amperages are ok), the price drops to $10.70 ea. 2nd day air from CA runs about $12.

The reason for screw terminals is to avoid the problems with slide-on terminals: they can corrode and lose contact. It seems to me that if you add slide-on screw terminals, you have not solved the problem.
I thought it would be simpler to just use the push-on terminals. I would in any case have replaced the old terminals on the end of the wires. As it turns out, I replaced it all, I have a short write-up elsewhere on the forum.
