when the switch is turned off?

You might consider a Top Ten Devices switch. Six positions, full
grounding.

Although a bit pricy DX Engineering has several very nice remote
switches.

Note that they also sell a weatherproof version of the switch


It's hard to believe that anybody, anywhere sells a "weatherproof" unit
that uses bare bulkhead SO-239s and terminal blocks... but that is what
every company, everywhere seems to do. They are easy to manufacture, but
they dump all the weatherproofing problems onto the customer.

Until someone starts to sell remote boxes that use sealed lead-throughs
with tails of cable, and in-line connectors that can be made truly
waterproof, I will continue to make my own.
