[QUOTE="Ktrain10, post: 481208, member: 13919"] I just bought a piece of 1/4” ABS plastic off of Amazon for essentially the same purpose. The plate that holds the trolling motor plug and 12/24 selector switch on our old champion dry rotted and broke off. Trying to find original panels/parts is impossible for a 1992 champion. I plan to measure and cut out a plate of abs that will cover the original hole, then dremmel and cut holes for the new plugs/switches. I think this is the easiest and cleanest solution, and would probably work great for you too. The 1/4” abs is some heavy duty stuff and fairly cheap for what you are doing. I would think you could easily get away with thinner than 1/4” also if you wanted. Let us know how it turns out, I’d love to see pics of your progress and finished project.
