Boats in general have the fuse panel screwed on. But I have seen a couple that were glued on.
Look around for screws, the screws may be under the fuses if they are the glass tube type fuse.
Before you go prying on it and breaking things, you might want to post a picture of it. Then we will at least have some idea of what kind you have.

i have also seen the darn things pop riveted on....definitely worth applying bright light and a mirror if needed to get a very good view prior to pulling on it.

Thanks for the reply Don there are two bolts that run thru the panel from behind the panel, but the nuts are recessed into panel, they are flush with panel so I can't get a wrench or socket on them it is raining out or i would post a pic
