I have a 1992 SS. The boat has been repowered with a Yamaha 70 four stroke and the interior has been removed revarnished with eight coats of varnish and reinstalled.
There is a white plastic cover covering the connector block on the starboard aft cornor by the stern light. This cover is secured by four stainless streel screws and is labeled fuses. I would like to replace this cover as the plastic is a little faded.
Does anyone know if this part is original and available?
If it's really faded, paint it. Scrub it with some detergent/degreaser and a scotch bright pad. Then hit it with a couple light coats of Rustoleum plastic paint primer. Then follow up with a couple light coats of the same plastic paint in whatever finish coat color you want. It did this to the plastic tray that goes under my rear seat for storage. It turned out great and is very durable. I think I still have my fuse cover from my re-do. You can have it if you want, just cover the shipping. It's in goo shape, can't tell if its faded or not. Came off my '88 15ss.

During my re-do, I moved the battery to under the console, and put a new Blue Seas terminal block under the console. I still had to contend with the bow light wire that comes through the gunnel where the your (and my old) fuse block was located. I bought (and modified) a small "through bulkhead" wire cover to make a small/cleaner looking exit where the wire comes through the gunnel. I wanted to move the wires location, but you have to remove the rubrail and that was not on the agenda yet. You can see the black wire cover in the photos on my personal page.
I just checked my old one, it's in good shape, no cracks. Probably similar to yours, maybe a little faded but "consistent" all around.
