Hi,<br /><br />I have a 2001 Sea Ray Sundancer 280. Last year at the end of the season the switch that activated the windlass was stuck on (allowing the other two switches: up/down to be used). That was annoying but not really a problem. Now, however, the switch is stuck off, keeping me from using my electric windlass. I was told that the instrument panel for the 2001 Sea Ray has only two wires going from it to every part on the boat that is wired to it, and some sort of encoding controls the devices it is hooked to. Therefor it is impossible to troubleshoot and the only hope is ordering an entire new instrument panel for $800 to see if that fixes the problem. Anyone know if this is true? Anyone have any experience removing the panel so I could discover if the switch is merely sticking? My electric windlass has no foot pedals so it's unusable if I can't use it from the helm instrument/switch panel.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for the advice!
