I picked up a '95 Bayliner 1700.
I'm in the middle of re-doing the dash panel, and need new labels for the switches.
The old ones had faded and worn away, and looked like they were screen printed on the panel.

So the problem is, the switches are very small, and close together. So I need labels that are no more than 3/4" wide.
I found these on iBoats, but it doesn't give their dimensions.
I know most labels are about 1.5" wide. But seeing that these are square, I'm hoping they are smaller.

You could also try a trophy shop. They usually make up the plastic kind (like the plastic name tags) in any size and color with different types of lettering.

Hey Hogger,

I also sent a note off to an iboats contact. She's not online right now, but I am sure she will respond. Good luck!!

They are .590" x .590" so yes they are less then .75" I hope that helps
