jonnyswamp Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My trim tab control box (PCB full of relays, diodes and other sorcery) died again last week, died once before when a faulty alternator sent 15 odd volts through it and cooked one of the components Managed to source a replacement and got it soldered in by a mate of a mate and it has worked until now The switch panel also has a small pcb on the underside, so rather than replace the control panel and keep a possible faulty switch I found that Lenco sell an all in one switch panel with the built in control panel, which also has led's to let you know the tab positions A quick google brought up plenty on Ebay USA and a few over here Over here ranged from £450 -£650 plus delivery Usa was £274 including all import duties and will be with me between 7th and 17th April I try to buy from British companies when I can, even if it costs a couple of quid extra, but not this time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I know exactly the control box you mean. Can you share the details of where you got it from as I'm also interested in fitting one to mine. Seen the eye-watering cost and lack of supply from UK suppliers - very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a bit of research and Bennett do a similar version apparently ( I don't know for definite as I found the one above) and will fit Lenco as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 As an aside, 15V shouldn't fry anything.... But you can protect over sensitive electronics, but very often it can point to a wiring fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
