Princess 40 - Main Switch Panel Removal

[sprocker]

Has anyone ever removed the main switch panel from a P40?

I have a couple of On/Off Momentary switches that I want to replace, but it isn't obvious how to get to the rear of the panel.

I may have to remove the curved sofa back but thought I would ask before starting surgery.

What age is the boat?

Can you get to it through the removable panel in the 2nd cabin?

Assuming main panel is at the helm.

Do you mean the main fuse panel in the 2nd cabin? I can't get to the back of the switch panel from there.

The main panel is not actually at the helm, but under the the navigators helm seat.

The main breaker panel on my P40 is glued in. However you can get to back of it by removing the curved backrest of the large sofa, then remove a wooden access panel. See attached pic
