Default New Dash For The 21

I didn't trouble-shoot any of them cause I knew all the gauges were gonna go...I wanted to have the sonar built in so a new dash was required...last night, in the cool of the evening, I tore out the old...



Labeled all as I went thru...today decided on the new layout and went at it...first a template to make sure it would all work...



Anything white showing thru the red got cut away...fit all the stuff into the template...



It all lined up pretty good, so went ahead and whacked a new one outta 1/4" Starboard..had to remove the wheel to saw the dash, so went back w/my old one from the '74...





Still gotta get behind there and rewire everything...hopefully tomorrow, but things are still movin along...oh and to catch up on some earlier business, had the shaft on the Minn Kota lengthened and got it mounted the other day...preceded by cutting away the center section of the bow-rail...hate doin that, but just can figure a better solution...



Somebody posted some pics after shortening the legs on their bow-rail...I thought it looked GREAT and will do same later, but right now, I gettin what's GOTTA be done to GO FISHIN!!...

Yeah...everytime I start to think that, a LIST as long as my arm jumps out...the sonar still needs GPS antenna installed/wired, temp sensor installed/wired and transducer installed/wired...hydraulic hoses to trim-tabs installed (pump's in) and wires pulled to dash, nav lights...and on and on...whew!!...it'll get done...I gotta FISH

Hey Phat...template is cardboard from one of the kid's old high-school science projects

Reel-
I probably missed it on one of the threads but what did you end up doing about the shaft length on the Honda? I remember you weren't sure if you were going to jack plate it or try and extend the one you had.
