Good buy, nice quality.
Very satisfied with the quality. Pre-wire is high quality and the spade terminals used cannot be pulled off due to vibration, or anything else, unless the release tab on the spade terminal is pressed. Very secure wiring.The switches are just typical rocker switches (so not much to report there) but the panel is provided with decals that allow you to costomize each switch, which is really nice.For those who are considering these for battery/solar applications, I figured I would mention the amperage draw of the LED indicator lights. Each switch has two LEDs, one of them is always on, the other only lights up when the switch is in the on position. The LED that comes on when the switch is pressed can be unwired by removing the spade terminal from terminal #6 if desired, the other cannot be modified as it is integral to the switch. When all switches are off (and only the indicator lights are lit), the sum of all 6 LEDs equals 14 mA.When all switches are on (indicator lights plus status lights), the sum of all 12 LEDs equals 28 mA.

Fire hazard
Cheap began to melt after the power was on. I was running a couple 12 volt led lights and a 65 gph bilge pump and this began to get hot and warp. When I pulled it out to check for loose connections the terminals pulled out of the back of the switch. These are pressed into a wire board in the switch and dont make good contact for it over heats. Less the 2 amps and 12 volts on these 2 lines if I would have used all 6 my boat would have been burned up. Hadnt even been in the water yet glad I caught this when I did.

Locking connectors and jacket. Good quality overall.
Very good quality overall. Both the panel and the switches feel solid. The switch action is satisfying.While trying to pull the spade connectors out, I pulled one of the pins out of the back of one of the switches. Upon inspection of the spade connector, you can see that the connectors are a locking type and require a tiny little tab to be pressed in order to unlock them for disconnection. You can do this with long jaw pliers if you know exactly where to press. You can do this with the blue jacket on the connector, but you can also pull the connector by twisting it first about 90 to 180 degrees (it "locks" onto the connector as well), then pulling on it. If you consider the designs of the connector and the connector jacket, overall, I believe this set of switches is a great design.

poor quality, pins pull right out, dont recommend @$30, more like <$10
just installed this last night these switches are nice to look at but construction quality is poor. i had to do some re-wiring and pulled the pins out of the back of the switch multiple times... or the wires came out of the connector. overall a 30 min job turned into hours because of poor quality switches... $30 for this is crazy. i would not buy these again unless at a significantly lower price.
