Hello all,
I am having issues with my helm switches on a 2001 Chris Craft Constellation. The part is no longer in production so I cant buy a new one.
I looked on eBay and found one, but it was sold a month a ago! :facepalm:

Has anyone owned a switch panel like this? These were very common on CC boat from 2000 - 2002 and they were made by Grayhill.

Thank you all for your help!

If you are hung up on appearance you may have a problem. But switch panels are switch panels -- there are a bunch of them right here on IBoats. Electricity doesn't care what the switches look like.

Yeah, I am not too concerned about switch panel looks. Just as long as they work!
I think that may be my only option now.

You can actually make a very attractive switch panel by using your existing panel as a pattern. Make the new panel out of any material you really like from brushed aluminum to teak. Add whatever switch design you wish. Of course that all depends on your electrical and mechanical aptitude.

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that I found out that DNA Group makes a replacement for this switch now. Its exactly the same size, but the buttons are not labeled.
Easy fix though. All you need to do is get a label maker and put them above the switch.
They cost $250 for a replacement.
when you call them, give them the numbers on the back of the switch and that will indicate the correct software version.
