New Dash Panel w/ Electronics -PICS

[fillet1]

I made a new dash panel out of starboard. Its all RAP's fault ;D

I originally removed the teak around the gague panel and made a frame out of starboard. It was okay, but I didnt like the electronics mounted on the plastic brackets. After measuring, I figured I could rearrange the gagues, cut the fiberglass opening in the helm, and have enough room to flush mount the electronics.

Very nice! 8)

I'd love to flush mount for the security benefits and it just looks like a nice clean install, but when I drift fish, I need to see the finder from anywhere on the boat, particularly at the transom.

Thanks. I needed something to do today in the rain anyway!

The biggest P.I.A. was the wiring of the gagues. I also had to hog out the thickness of the area where the switches are with the router. They wouldnt fit otherwise.

I was suprised how much room there is in the helm after you cut back some of the fiberglass. I could have arranged for a much larger display if I had one. :D
