I have a 1981 capri 25 with the original electronics board and plastic toggle switches to turn on the running ligts, etc. They have finally died by cracking and falling apart. the Originals were made out of some kind of black and gray plastic. I would hate to change or trade out the original switch board. Has anyone had this same problem and what did you use to replace the switches, and from what vendor? RonE

I'm not certain what the Capri power switch panel looks like. On the Boater's World shopping site, you can find individual replacement single pole single throw switches (one on-off switch) as well as a six switch panel with fuses and name tag labels.

The switch panel size is 4 1/2" x 3 5/8". See the following:

I can assume there are two problems with this:
- too few switches (six instead of seven)
- panel size.
It might be possible to use two panels side by side.

You can also find a variety of SPST toggle switches there, with varying levels of quality. Here's one:

Please post what you decided to do, as many folks have encountered similar replacement issues with their power panels and switches.
