Debbie put in switches for our two broken Bora 3-speed marine fans - 2015

End of November 2015 - At private slip in Nuevo Vallarta in Banderas Bay, Mexico

Note:
2018 - these thumb switches have worked out less than we would have liked. They are flimsy and are hard to switch. We did not leave enough chord to reach them easily.
