Unfortunately, the Product Design Tool is limited to large screen applications like desktop & laptop computers. Some tablets will allow for normal operation & appearance, but we highly recommend you design your custom product on a desktop or laptop computer for full functionality.

Pricing is very project-specific and depends primarily on components, hole cutouts, hardware, etc. rather than base panel dimensions. Spend ~5–10 minutes filling out our interactive quote form to receive an exact itemized quote.

As a baseline rule of thumb, our switch panel projects ballpark at:

• Toggle Panels: ~$60 per switch position
• Rocker Panels: ~$85 per switch position
• Pushbutton Panels: ~$110 per switch position

Quotes are flexible and never locked in! If a layout exceeds your budget, let us know. We can adjust hardware options (like changing pushbuttons to rockers), remove optional accents, or whatever else you need to match your budget.

We also offer interest-free financing, 10% active military/first responder discounts, and a 5% Price-BEAT Guarantee against competitors. Just ask us how...

More than likely, YES. Please ask an AO associate for more guidance.

To ensure a flawless fit, every panel is computer drafted by hand. The $10 design deposit shows commitment and allows our design team to immediately allocate dedicated design hours to your project.

1. An order reference number is generated (e.g., AO-2026).
2. Your life-like design proof will be emailed to you within 2 business days.
3. Review the design carefully. Submit revisions or execute the digital approval form.
4. Pay the remaining project balance to send your project to manufacturing.

Our team will make every attempt to ensure your product is precise down to the millimeter. We do recommend you review your design with a 'fine toothed comb' so you can verify all aspects of your custom product design. As the old saying goes, "Measure twice, cut once!" Well we recommend, "Measure three times - just because!"

Ehhhhhhhhh, no. All custom products are manufactured IAW the FINAL APPROVED DESIGN. Verify every aspect of the emailed design when you receive it. If your design needs changes please notify us ASAP before you complete your final payment & approve the design.

Yes! We highly recommend it. When your proof is emailed, print it to 100% scale on paper, cut it out, and physically overlay it onto your boat to verify the design before signing the AO design approval form. You can print your design to scale on a home printer or visit an office supply store (FedEx Kinkos, UPS Store, Staples, etc.) so they can assist.

If manufacturing of your product has already begun, YES. We make every attempt to emphasize that you need to verify the design before giving us FINAL DESIGN APPROVAL.

When providing technical switch info, answer three core questions:

1. What is it controlling? (e.g. Nav/Anc, Bilge, Horn)
2. What is the switch function? (e.g. ON-OFF, ON-OFF-ON, or momentary (ON)-OFF for horns)
3. What is the circuit amperage? Check device tags. General guidelines:
   • Lights: 5A–10A
   • Pumps: 10A–20A
   • 12V Plugs/Accessories: 15A

Resettable pushbutton switches feature built-in, onboard circuit protection (breakers). These do NOT need external circuit protection.
Non-resettable pushbutton switches do not contain built-in circuit protection. These require an external circuit breaker or fuse.

Thickness depends on physical load. Our general rule of thumb is to over-engineer the product whenever possible to prevent flex.
Note: Chamfered (some people call this beveled) edges require at least 3/8" thick material.

If we don't have your hull/console shape on file, we will ask you to mail us your original panel or a rigid template (cardboard, thick paper, plywood, etc. all work well) so we can scan it down to the millimeter.

We honestly work at your speed, within reason, but budget a week or so for quoting, design and payment. Then budget the business days (noted on your design) for your product to be manufactured. Then budget shipping days. We're boaters too, so we understand you want your product "yesterday" and we will make every attempt to ensure you receive your custom product ASAP, without sacrificing safety or quality.

Orders are produced on a strict first-come, first-served basis. You can review current shop queue statuses anytime on our live status page.

If you pay for expedited manufacturing, YES. We treat every single customer as if their custom product is the most important, regardless of project complexity. Fairness for all of our customers is important to us so products are manufactured by the date they enter manufacturing. After all, would you want someone cutting you in line?

Yes! We offer rush manufacturing queue upgrades and expedited shipping for tight schedules. Ensure these are noted on your quote and, when you finalize it, your design.

NO. Please notify an AO associate if your shipping needs to be expedited. Manufacturing and shipping information will be reflected on your quote & design, respectively.

UPS Ground is our standard domestic shipping method, but we will ship via your preferred carrier. Please notify an AO associate if you prefer an alternative shipping carrier.

Yes! We ship custom marine products to boat owners worldwide via the best shipping method for that specific address & speed of shipping.

Of course! Scroll all around our website to see all of the latest and greatest that we have available for your boat upgrade!
