Did you perhaps mount it on an uneven surface and bend the housing? Remove it or at least loosen the mounting hardware and see if it still moves hard. If not, you have a mounting issue.

All the Perko switch I used, I even had to install a new one 3 weeks ago, I can turn them all with my thumb and finger.

awww... nahh. I need to grip all 5 fingers on that thing and just twist with all my might, and abs... and if it turns from OFF to TWO, i always bust a knuckle! Im not disabled btw... ex-military, young stud. I will check the mounting deal though, SilverTip. I'll let you all know... im not ashamed:cool: thanks all!

Re: Perco switch making me crazy!

this is a long shot but
my perco has a lock in the off position and when in dry storage i lock it off

my son started to turn mine on and got it to move a little while i was folding cover. he asked me why it was so hard to turn.

got him stoped and unlocked it. like i say long shot or maybe they can hang up 1/2 locked and unlocked
