Safety Cover for DC Panel Switch

On my 2001 C310, although the bilge pump is wired such that it will run if the main battery switch is set to "off", the bilge pump on/off switch on the DC electrical panel must still be "on" for the pump to have power. In other words, the toggle can be on "auto" (or "manual") and the batteries can be "off" but if that panel switch isn't set to "on" there is no power to the pump. I've seen before where people have installed plastic "safety" covers directly on the panel that cover up an individual on/off switch so someone doesn't inadvertently flick it to off, but I can't seem to find them on West Marine or Catalina Direct web sites (or through a general Google search). Does anyone know what these things are officially called or have a part number for them? Thanks!!

Ah, ha! When not distracted by co-workers who actually want work done, I finally managed to find it on the West Marine site. It is called a "Toggle Guard". No wonder I couldn't find it with a search. It is Blue Sea Systems Model # 163209 | Mfg # 4100.
