My boat falling apart on its first cruise since COVID continues. The major multiway button thingy on my C90W plotter which seems to have originally been held in place by a rubber thingy is almost completely detached (see photo). Anyone got ideas for:
* a temporary repair (I'm thinking a bead of the silicone sealant I don't currently have but may be able to locate in weymouth despite being sunday, although I don't want to gunk up the electronics underneath or have the button detach)
* a more permanent repair: I'm guessing I'm not the only person this has happened to. I'm seeing replacement 3d printed buttons on line for more than the plotter is worth so probably not the best solution.

I had same problem, was able to get the part from Raymarine , I just used the buttons behind the rocker until it arrived.
 
Thanks: I'll ping raymarine although I was thinking that as an obsolete product they may no longer have parts. I'm a little concerned about water ingress. Currently have a bit of plastic over it stuck down with electrical tape.

Amy I ask how you fitted this?
