New Dash For The 21

[reelapeelin]

New surface for the top of the dash...the old one was in OK shape ...except for the holes left by previously mounted electronics...



A new skin of Starboard and she looks like new...adding a lip to the side so stuff won't slide off while I'm about whackin this stuff...



The compass will secure the center and a few screws around the edge and POOPH!!...new console top...ain't this FUN!!...

Cvencer...went w/a 6" set-back jack-plate...worked OK on a trial run, but have raised the motor a notch since, so the next run will be a trial too!!...

Looks good man. Like that trolling motor up on the bow. When I made my new dash I wished I left room for a drip edge on top. Something to consider before rapping things up.

You know...I thought about doin a drip edge, but w/the angle of the dash, that edge would have to extend out several inches to keep the rain/spray off the gauges...but are you talkin about something shorter just to keep moisture outta the joint between dash and console at the top?...

I can see your problem with the angle but something to channel anything that may flow from the main dash IE:coffee,water,in my case Beer would probably help. Just make a short enough piece that will allow ya to router a groove close to the fiberglass dash,kind of like a rain gutter and seal the crap out of it. Will give it more of a finished look.

If I'm understandin you right, a spill on the main dash(the flat part w/the compass) won't get to the gauges cause there's a pretty large angle to the top of the gauge-dash...where the starboard stops, there's a 1/2" trough before the angle starts to rise...is that what you're talkin about?

[Bonita Dan]

Yea man,didn't really see that angle before the dash. The eyes ain't what they used to be,sorry. The eye doctor said I don't need glasses just need longer arms. Anyways,enjoy your new dash.

Yea,we took some sheephead for a boat ride on Saturday just in case they didn't know where the Paradise Bar was on Pensacola bch. They ended their tour in the frying pan along with some other friends like Mr.Potato and cousin corn fritter.
