    Lucky 13- had the same issue with my 01 265, just replaced the switch covers with new ones. I think I got them from Taylor’s Marine in DE. Here’s a pic of the panel before replacing covers.

    fair number off msrp?

    Buddy sells boats for a living, doesn’t have the GW line but some nice mid- tier manufacturers. Basically every boat delivered from factory is sold at full list before it gets unloaded off the truck. He’s got bidding wars breaking out on any good used rig he lists. Crazy time to buy a boat now...
