I need this part or one that will work to replace it. All of the fuse holders on the back are rusted
And though it still works it needs replacing ASAP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Grady no longer makes this panel.1598636897419.jpeg

It seems to me that someone not at the factory made that panel based on the different corner shapes.

I am interested in what the circuit that says Constant 12Volts does. I assume that the breakers above that lists float switches is also constant 12V.

Three of the four breakers would normally be in-line fuses connected to a battery. The 50 amp would normally be the main accessory feed and would be switched.
The 10 amp constant is anybody's guess but would seem to be for devices that you want to stay powered when the battery switches are off. The one application that comes to mind is a stereo memory feed.

Perhaps someone with that hull can shed light on the panel and whether it is original

The screws hold the in In- line fuses which are behind the panel that are all corroded .
May I could just replace those but where would you get them?

You can just replace the circuit breakers. The panel just holds the breakers. There are numerous sources for these type breakers. The 12V constant is typically for the VHF/FM radio and the stereo memory and other items that might need un-switched 12V. If you can't get the screws out, just cut out a piece of black starboard of the same pattern and make a new panel.

Thank You so much! I have been looking for a breaker to fit this panel for two days and have even called Grady White and the Grady dealer in town.
I will order those now.

I was looking at some boats for sale listings and I saw a Gulfstream that has almost the exact same panel, 3 push button breakers and a main breaker. I don't remember what site I was searching on but i think the Gulfstream was not very old as far as Grady's go.

Thank Ya'll for the help. I ended up ordering all of the breakers and am going to re-do the entire panel.
wspitler was correct when he said that the panel was after-market so I am just going to redo all of the fuses.
