    I build my own. Here is a picture of one of the control boxes on my pondtoon. The box is an outdoor elecrtical junction box I got at Lowes or Home Depot. It is a gasket sealed box. It is 6x6x4. Just rite for mounting cig lighters and rocker switches. I got the Carling pre labeled rocker switches, but toggles with a rubber boot are much easier to mount and are easier to seal (waterproof) against leaks. You can get marine switch stick on labels if you wanna label switches.

    You can get other size waterproof boxes from companies such as Poly Case or Bud Box. I use wood bits to drill round holes in the plastic boxes. Works great. I drill, dremel and file rectangular holes for the rocker switches (a real pain but they look good).

    I have one of these boxes (as seen in the pic) on each side of my pondtoon. They have a c.com fishie on them and the don't look cheesie.
