Hi Jeff, looks like something the previous owner did. You couldn't install the switch if the knobs were glued on (knob too big to fit through the hole

).

It stands to reason that the factory could have glued the knobs on after the switches were installed.

True, but then you'll have your situation, can't remove the switch because the knobs are too big to fit through the holes

Good way for the factory to sell more switches. Wouldn’t be the first time an OEM made it difficult to service a part.

I would gather from what you are saying though, that on other Mariah boats the factory didn’t typically glue on the switch knobs so it must have been a previous owner.

Not the way Mariah did things, near as I can tell.

Hi Jeff,

As SEMIJim said, "it's not the way Mariah did things..."

So I would say it was someone else...
