Has anyone had a kidney shaped...

Has anyone had a kidney shaped push button control panel for a Sea Ray Sundancer 320 rebuilt by Blink Marine in Chicago? And if so has it been working well for you?

Here is a good alternative to the problematic OEM switch panel parts.

These are plug and play w/ a manufacturer's warranty. The mfg says some cutting of concealed fiberglass may be required.

A carefully used Oscillating Multi Tool (OMT) w/ appropriate sharp blades will make trimming that concealed fiberglass easy. Measure 4 or 5 times, cut once.

While the replacement parts are pricey, it is sooo excellent that a highly-rated superior drop in OEM replacement part exists.

The only online review I found for the Blink Marine in this application had some systems not functioning properly for several owners, with those owners reverting to this FP Marine replacement.

Other than initial cost, there doesn't appear to be any downside to this FP Marine system replacement.

Just started having issues with my starboard side panel - is the FP Marine unit the only option at this point?  It appears that there is no replacement-in-kind option to me.
