Default V-21 Dash Replacement

Since I got the boat last fall, I thought all winter about what I wanted to do to replace the dash and gauges and switches. The original was acrylic and it had cracked where the screws held it in and where the tach was mounted it had cracked from top to bottom. The gauges had weathered and the fuel gauge did not work. I ordered the gauges and switch panel and a piece of Starboard cut to size. I took a couple of days this week and got it installed. I think the trouble and expense was worth it because it made a big difference in the appearance. Below are the before and after.

Looks great.

If you want to cover those screw heads, look into screw snap covers

Thumbs up

Looks great!

I dont mind the screws, but like to use stainless finishing washers to dress them up a bit.

Step, After I read your post I checked the original panel and it is actually spelled correctly but it kind of all runs together. I had to look at it twice just to be sure.
