My starboard switch panel on my 280 (soft-touch panel) is giving me problems. Specifically the anchor windlass sometimes doesn't power up. I replaced the windlass relay, but the problem persists. I bypassed the relay and it works fine, but only the footswitches. I can live with that, but I was wondering what the downside is to bypassing the relay. I would guess that power is going to the windlass control box at all times when bypassed. The likely problem is the switch panel, and even if I could find a replacement they can be over 1k! I did replace one of the two panels years ago, but I forgot which side it was. I do remember the dealer said that was the last unit and was lucky to have found it. It even had the wood grain cover. Any ideas?
