I was going to do it myself too. I bought the dash panels and bought the switches FROM Phil and spent almost a whole day just messing with all the wiring and after that was only about 40% done...I brought the boat to Phil and let him finish it. Granted I'm right down the road from him but it's a pain in the A$$!!!

The new panels probably won't exactly line up with the old screw holes, the wires might not be long enough, there are a number of little things that make it much more complicated than it looks. Not that it's impossible, it certainly is, it's just a lot more involved than it looks. And as everyone has said, you need to know what each switch is, SPST, DPDT, etc, etc, etc...

But if you want to tackle it yourself and your rocker's match up with what I have on my old pic then let me know and I can tell you what most of the switches will need to be...off my receipt FROM Phil :evilb:

Here's some before and after pix for reference

sorry to hijack but this thread is the closest topic i have found in relation to my question. I plan i replacing the covers of my carling switches. Plan on going with plain illuminated black switches as my old switches are yellowed white and the lettering is worn off.
My question is can i get just the covers in the 3 way setting and would they work on all three types of switches? i know it would work on the on-off-on switch. I would assume it would on the mon-of-mon switch. would this switch cover work on the two way on-off? I am keeping the existing switch just replacing the switch cover. any help would be great, thanks
