There are loads of Marine supply stores out there, and on ebay, that sell great, weatherresistant 12 volt switches. I got mine thru

Thanks for the links. I'm going to spend some time going through them. Just finished a couple hours of mowing after spending some time looking at the dash I think I'm going to try to find push button switches like the factory hazard light switch. With all the choices in the links you guys provided someone must make a switch like the factory Kubota. Now just got to look.

The best waterproof switches out there are the mil spec toggles that can be found in all sorts of configurations. If they can survive military use (and I used many while in), they can survive anything! Search for Cutler Hammer, Eaton, Honeywell, etc on Ebay. That's all I use for switches that will experience dust, water, snow, etc. You can also add boots to further protect them.
Here's a quick search....

Is there a mil spec push button? I'm now really leaning towards trying to match the factory Kubota push button they use for the hazard lights.

Although those toggles look pretty good, I'm going to order a few for some other uses. Thanks.

Might be something here. in the descriptions, IP 66 and NEMA-4 mean waterproof.
