    Control panel replacement

    Looking for a replacement for my "ZX225" electronic power pad, which includes all controls for livewells, bilge pump, timers, etc.
    "'Power button"" n/a; I understand there is a retrofit to replace my existing control panel, but opting for help from BBC members, hoping to locate an older model Skeeter boat (2004-2005-2006) that has met with an unfortunate end, but still has control panel operative. Otherwise, its deep into the pocket book to replace with retrofitted rocker panel board! Thanks in advance for any guidance and/or support..

    I have a 2006 21i that the computer panel in rear compartment is not sending power to the dash panel the bi-pass modes still work but a pain in the butt to open it all day to aerate a live well I’m looking for a kit that replaces the whole thing and I thought I read that someone on this board had it done. Hope someone can help my boat is old but I love the damm thing to much to upgrade

    All the kits can be purchased from the factory through your local dealer. My dealer charges $700.00 to do the older zx conversions, and the Iclass is higher as the kit cost almost that. Of course both kits can be purchased and install by yourself.

    I replaced mine in my 2007 ZX190 3 weeks ago to the toggle switch plugin replacement. Was a 1 hour swap out from the touch pad. New panel with all the switches and timers was $295 plus tax. Remove the old panel, trim the fiberglass dash back I little using a Rotozip to allow room for the switches and drop the new panel in. Bought it at Jorgensen Marine in Beaumont, Tx ask for Yvonne who order the replacement from Skeeter. Parts took 2 weeks to arrive.
