You can still get the old style push-pull switches. Or drill the holes to 1/2" for modern style toggles.

One of my older boats had the old style push pull switches and they all worked fine. i installed a pump with a new switch and the switch failed in one season. I bought a more expensive better looking new switch and it lasted one season. Modern made in china junk. A friend had a 30 year old push pull switch on his leftover boat stuff so I put it in and it has worked perfect for the last several seasons. I no longer buy new switches but watch garage sales, flea markets etc. for the good old USA made switches made with brass and stainless.
I also had the same experience with windshield wiper motors. New ones were good for one season only.

My switches r not the p&p style. Although I wish they were they flip up n down but there brass on the back w/ srews to hold on the eyelets. Panel has built in warning light for bilgepump.can't seem to find that style switches.

Can you post a pic? You should be able to replace them with the same or similar no problem.
