74 CC Interior Fix-Up and 1st Trip
 

I'm getting ready to put my 74 CC back in to shape for fishing. I decided to repaint the deck ,gunnels and topside with Pettit white epoxy paint and primer, everything is in good shape {I need to fill a bunch of screwholes} but the paint is worn thru in spots. The last owner had a OMC on it and he hacked the hell out of the mounting face of the CC I have all new gauges, helm. steering wheel,breaker panel and compass. I need some sugestions on what I can do , cut it out and replace with marine plywood ,Starboard? I need some ideas.......

Starboard over the whole mess! ;) I did it to the top of my console on the CC. Check my gallery pics.

Thats what I did!! Starboard all the way!

I got a piece of 1/4 white from the scrap pile at a local boat mariner, for $10

Little blurry, but I used a piece of 1/4 starboard. *No motor on this boat right now, so still no guages.http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/...0113.sized.jpg

Across the top under the compass, GPS, and FF. It was an awful mess! :o

Did you cut out a large part of the top or is the starboard just laided over the top, and what thickness is it and can you mount the helm on it with just the starboard....

Re: The Center Console Help
 

I used 1/2" thick material laid right over the top. Just made sure the surface was smooth. Yes, you can mount the helm right onto the Starboard. 1/2" would be plenty strong enough for that.
