1991 12 meter, many electric buttons at helm sticking

Post by Partick »

Does anyone have a place to buy the OEM buttons for my boat? Last year all were fine, it came out of storage and 1/3 of them stick or dont work. There are other switches around the boat that are likely from the same manufacturer that have problems as well.

Thanks...desperate, our season is short in MN>

I used silicone spray. It' safer on plastic and nylon.
