Lightning strike forces replacement BEP circuit board
Due to direct strike on June 25, we are forced to replace main circuit breaker / electrical panel along with almost all of our electronics. Seeking suggestions for parts and pieces, along with pricing. Does anyone know where to buy the panel, made by BEP Marine Ltd, that was used on 1996 era 36' LRC? thanks in advance.

Re: Lightning strike forces replacement BEP circuit board
My Panel from 1991 was fabricated by Thornton Marine Electric - they have a listing but it looks like no website:

There is a guy that we have known for many years in Virginia Beach that really does nice panels to order (he doesn't list them on his website). You may want to contact him and ask about a retrofit to your spec with the latest products - he has number of patented marine items as well and his prices are competitive. I've seen some very nice LED lit covered panels that he's done. That is on our long term wish list as on our year all of the breakers are exposed.

The panel in my 2001 Altair was made by Paneltronics model 4401. They have many different configurations so maybe you could find one to fit your boat.

We also have a Paneltronics (made in Miami, FL). I believe all later PDQ 36's used the Paneltronics.
