I have a 2005 280 Sundancer that was struck by lightning a couple months ago. I'm working with a repair shop that is having trouble sourcing replacement dash panels (1718618 and 1606581) and the corresponding Electronic Interface Modules (1718630 and 1759175). I am told that the dash panels are available in black, but the EIMs are no longer available. If I can't find the EIMs, then the dash controls are useless. Does anyone know where I can find these parts? Or possibly have them repaired? Thanks in advance
 
Helm switch panels are available in black and the wood trim can be moved over to them. Not sure about the EIMs. Perhaps a call to Sea Ray support will offer some help.

Thanks Kevin. I've heard the wood trim can be moved over. Have you done this before? I've heard it's really easy to crack them. Then I'd be SOL.

I was actually able to find a dealer with two EIMs in stock. Apparently Sea Ray stopped re-production of the EIMs and is working to find a new contractor to produce them.
 
Nice! That looks much easier than I imagined. Thanks for sharing
Did you do this - how did it go if you did? About to do same wondering if there are any lessons learned i can steal from you or others?
