Wondering what the options are for getting out of this set up. I am replacing 2 a year it is just a really bad design both from the way it connects to the black box to how fragile the ribbon is and then if the boat is in any rain the thing just stops working. I have the round one on the right side of the steering wheel. Is there a new control panel from the newer boats that can be retrofitted to handle bilge,horn,lights and pump in pump out? Or do I take it to a boat mechanic and see if they can convert to toggle switches or rockers. My issue is when the panel goes out on the water I lose everything, it is just not reliable.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
