I cannot find a way to access (or really even clearly see) the back side of this panel to determine if it’s held on by screws or if it just pulls off?

Thanks

Screws are glues to it and fasten the the inside of the hull. Not easy to get too. Might need to crawl into the seat locker and look back and up there.

Not what I wanted to hear lol

Thanks for help, I might ask my wife to crawl in there from the bow side of the helm. No way my 6’4” 220lb self can get to it.

Out of curiosity what are you trying to take it off for? Are you going to add lights in that storage area?

I want to remove the entire switch plate from the dash for better access to the wires, and I can’t remove the bottom right screw with that in the way. I’m wiring up my underwater lights and want to trace out some wires to see if one of the blank switches is for a higher amp circuit.

I already put lights in that cubby by drilling a small hole and fishing some wire to the rear cup holder area!

I plan on conquering underwater lights when I get home and I think I am going to use the stock acc switch to power a relay and I'll just run a new wire from my bus bar on the amp board to the relay and then to the lights. I need to support 9 amps of current and I think the stock breaker for underwater lights is only 3 amp.

Yea if I can’t find a stock switch that’s prewired on a 10a + breaker then I’ll go that route as well.

I was barely able to peek back there from the bow side and could see a plastic push pin. It pops off for anyone’s future reference (I used a plastic trim removal tool to keep from marring the gel)

I’m going to use the 10 amp docking lights switch/circuit, which I already used for something else, so doing a little rewiring to clean it all up and organize the switches how I want them
