Are there such things as covers for these BEP Marine breaker panels?
Note the placement of the bow/stern thruster controllers. Lower station on the left, upper station middle, and the breaker panel for the engines that's just barely visible on the lower station.
I had a problem with my upper station control and had to quickly switch to the lower. While operating from the lower station I mistakenly reached for where the thruster controllers are at the UPPER station and managed to flip one of the engines OFF. Thankfully they come back online in seconds, so the situation didn't get THAT MUCH WORSE. But it tells me this needs addressing as to avoid future confusion.
I could probably move the controls around a bit on the lower station to better match those of the upper. Though I'm not sure there's enough slack in the cabling to allow for it (because of course there won't be).
So an interim solution would be some sort of cover that made it harder to make that mistake again. I'd still need control of the breakers, as they're the off/on for the engines. I'm thinking maybe something acrylic and hinged?
Anyone seen or created something that might be suitable here?
