The problem

So maybe You have a VolvoPenta KAD44 or KAD300 generation A or B, maybe a KAD43  flybridge installation, ? Maybe even the bigger engines, TAMD73 or TAMD74?   And Your control buttons is heavily worn by sun and the salty air. Maybe missing the plastic tops all together? Looks crappy like this ->

Volvo Penta KAD44 (260 HP released in 1997) and KAD300 (285 HP released in 2002) where very popular engines in this time era because of very good performance, low weight and the completely new Electronic manouvering system (EDC).  Volvo Penta TAMD73 (350HP) and TAMD74 (480HP) was installed in larger yachts, also utilizing this new EDC system. These engines has proven to be very long lasting, giving the owners a lot of pleasure and comfort. One of the pictures is from my own Windy 37 Grand Mistral with 2 x KAD44B diesel engines where also one color on Active Station is wrong. The other one is a “before image” from his boat. Volvo Penta does not supply these plastic tops anymore, the plastic tops are obsolete. 
See this link. Parts are out of production.


Volvo Penta only supply the complete switch at 1100 NOK (approx 120USD) per switch! To replace all 6 the price is almost 1/2 of our fuel consumption during one summer. We also deliver the standalone switch at a fraction of the cost.Looks like this is part of Volvo Pentra partnumber: 876950, 873890 , 873891 , 873892 , 873642 , 873733  (Thanks my Danish friend for giving me this information)
