|  New Gauges - Installation Suggestions 
			
			I will try to post a better picture.  I have two new 3 3/8" diameter Smartcraft Gauges to install. The holes in the boat as originally equipped has one 3 3/8" hole and four smaller 2 1/8" holes. I have lots of options on where to put them. Including front and center next to the GPS Combo. Any suggestions?? wellcraft 20v 004.jpg wellcraft 20v 013.jpg

			A large radar or chartploter screen needs to go next to the Lowrance!  Do you have any pics online of your resto? I really like the looks of that Wellcraft!

			There is room for a 10" Garmin if I don't put the gauges there.  I have two pics of the rebuild. Would of had more but thieves kept stealing my camera.. The more I think on it the more I think sealing the old holes and mounting the gauges there would be my best bet. Not in line of sight but then the Lowrance unit could also display my engine info with a little work. That way I will have GPS speedo without a paddle wheel.

 Stack the new gauges in the middle and put an 8" Garmin stead of a 10"...maximum readability of the new gauges, saves money on the electronics and no one will never know the difference...I won't tell ANYBODY...  BTW...when you gonna post that better picture??...I just like lookin' at yer boat...

			If you couldn't use the same holes .Then seal them and recut them in the same area to try to maintain the original look
