New Dash

dbetterred · #1 07-29-2008, 09:00 PM

I want to give props to csvencer, as I used his dash panel as a rough template for mine.
The panel is 1/4 starboard. I didn't flush mount the GPS so it is easier to remove for security reasons.

If you guys have problems seeing the pics I'll try to fix it after work tomorrow

Other then being a bit white, and hard on your eyes in the sun, Its a great job!!
I need a new switching panel for my boat also, and I am looking for one like you guys have. But I have found with most that the fuses is what gets messed up. I am looking for one that is just swithes and I will put a fuse box inside nice and dry.

The switch panel I used is also a Bluesea panel. It has a high quality gasket 'shield' that covers the whole fuse area under the white plastic cover that you see. The gasket is thick and has three sealing ridges and looks to me that water wouldn't be an issue (fingers crossed). I chose white just cause I like the looks of it, if it is sunny out I always have sunglasses on so the glare is not an issue.

I have posted this elsewhere but I am working on getting some new panels for my v20 and I found a guy named scott over on classicmako.com that does some awesome work....and at good prices. He is really great with ideas also so if you are interested I would check out his work and shoot him an email. You can see a lot of his work at classicmako.com or you can check out his website at vectorled.com

Blue Sea panels are the only way to go. You can get some that have push button circuit breakers with rubber boots that seem to hold up fine.

MJ...I know ya can't see this switch-panel real good in this picture, but it sounds like what you have in mind...6 switches (comes in 4 also) w/no fuses on back, just male spade connectors...it's to the lower left of the wheel and has been flawless since installed in 1999...can't recall mfgr, but I'll get it if ya want it...
