Mine died after 3-4 months of heavy use. Replaced with new switch and died after another 3 months. Bypass the switch and go direct.
Simply place the battery in the pocket and secure during launch and then connect the battery once ready to make bait. Very easy.

I came to the same conclusion. Even the newer conductant switches break. When it failed again after replacement, switched to the bypass system as on my older livewell.
