Switch Panel
 

My switch panel on my 84 has been cut-up and altered. I'd like to replace it with the same material Seacraft uses these days on their new boats. I looked at it real close and it appears to be a formica type laminate matrerial. The material I speak of has an aluminum finish and repeating circular patterns. Does anyone have a source for this material?

There is a place in Fort Lauderdale that is redoing my 1984 panel to factory specs with the SeaCraft logo.for 140.00 the name is Wards Marine. Electric. I work about a block from them and they do great work. Wards Marine Electric

I am looking to replace my switch panel as well. My panel is 3.5" x 23" and has 8 breaker switch cut outs with the SC Logo on the right side of the panel.

I believe you have the same type of panel. Have you seen the type of work this company puts out? The price seems OK if the quality is there.

They do great work and they do it right there. They told me about a week turnaround. I will talk to them and see if they will give us a break for 3 panels. Ill ask them on friday and let ya'll know. Look at my web page and tell me if its like yours. TEAMBratPack

I tracked down the company that makes the switch panel for Seacraft. Didn't price the whole panel, but did get a price for a replacement front for a current model - $45. I was hoping they bought the material in bulk, but it appears they have to machine each panel for the effect, thus the high price for a little sliver of formica. Can you give me more details on the panel you're having made.

I have the same panel and see the exact size from my earlier message. I would also be interested in replacing the plexiglass drip guard just above the switch panel as well. If they need me to send the old panels just let me know. The group discount sounds like a good idea to me.

This is what I am doing with mine since I think my boat was made on a Friday...that is the only reason I cant think why they put a blower switch on an outboard. switch panel

The switch labels are fine with me. Why not either give me a private messsage or call at 508 904 7552 to discuss final details. Are you replacing the splash guard as well?
Do you have a line on new breaker switches?

I talked to the engraver today and she wants to see my panel again but she said she will do better than 140.00 for 3 or more. All she said to do was measure your panel and make sure they are all the same size. Then email me what you want engraved under each switch and the total number of switches. I will bring my panel in to her on tuesday and let ya'll know how much they will be and how long. This company does all the gauge panels for Bertram and Hatteras so thay should tell you of their quality. Plus Im pretty much anal on who does what to my boat. As for the plexiglass sheild I will let you know how much those will be.

Does anyone have a source for the red switches for an 83-84? I'm missing one and would like to fill-in an empty hole until I replace the front panel. By the way - my boat was built on Friday also. Blower switch on an outboard. Maybe they know something we don't?
