Hey folks, hope you all had a good new year.
Several years ago, I did a redux on my helm and pilothouse that included an lighted, eight-gang rocker switch panel from Amazon that was nicely wired with individual fuses for each switch. It literally crumbled, each switch launching its inards after only two years. I replaced it with another lighted eight-gang switch panel, this time a different brand with individual push button breakers for each switch, but apparently the same quality as it is already falling apart after only a year or so.
This time I’d like to avoid this junk and go with a decent quality switch panel. Anybody using something better? My local marine surplus store has some higher quality panels from various boat mfgrs, but I’d like a matched set of eight.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
