Ken, before you spend $$$ replacing stuff, make sure you've nipped the problem in the bud first.

The simplest, most straight-forward solution (read cheapest) is not to worry about 'wet approved' hardware, just put the regular stuff into a sealed box.

You can buy over-sized plastic boxes that have rubber gaskets around the doors or panels that open. Then just use electrical putty to seal around the holes you made to feed in the wires. This method works VERY well for the type of situation you have.

If the switches are serviceable you can probably clean up the contacts, if not just replace them and then encapsulate the whole thing.

Best of luck.
