Anyone know where I can find 2 blank switch panel plates?

If it were me I would get the matching pair of the aluminum ones Choice just posted. 
They are what went on the newer boats and won't break again. 

These are different than the ones on my VLX though, not sure if I could just add a dummy switch? (please ignore my broken horn switch)

If it is just in bad shape, have it vinyl wrapped. 

I may end up having to glue mine, then wrap it unless I can find a new one.

I have the same switch plates as you. If I thought I could get away with buying more boat stuff before finishing the baby room projects I would have those metals ones. 
If you want I could swap mine out to the aluminum ones then sell you my old ones. lol

Would you still be willing to sell your old ones?

Just to update anyone else who was looking for the same part, I bought the metal one from Great Lakes. It fits the older dash fine. It does have an extra switch cutout, so I’ve ordered a dummy accessory switch to fill it. Also the dash will need a little trimming with a dremel tool in this extra switch cutout to fit the extra switch. I’ll post a pic when my new switch gets here.

I was thinking of purchasing that part for my 2001 Response LX, which has a crack in the switch panel.   I think the dash is the same as your boat.  Looking forward to the pics.

Finally have an update for this. I used part number 5550033 from Great Lakes. Here is the panel installed with no modification. It screwed right into place.

Obviously it has an extra switch opening. The material behind it needs to be removed to fit an additional switch.

I used a dremel to remove the excess. Doesn’t look pretty, but it is hidden being the panel anyway so it doesn’t matter.

Added a new dummy switch, and everything fits great. Easy to do and rock solid.
