Mounting electronics

[fillet1]

My dash looks like this:



I made the starboard frame to replace the teak that is shown in Franco's pic.

I have a Garmin 180 and 240 ff. I have mounted the brackets like macojoe.

BUT, I am having second thoughts now. I really want the electronics flush mounted. The total area of the frame I made is 19'' by 11''. ( however, this overlaps the cutout in the fiberglass dash area.)

The garmin 180 is 6.25 by 6 inches, the 240 is 6.25 by 5 inches. I have a 4inch tach, and the fuel, water and volt gaguges are 2.25 inches.

I'm thinking of picking up a pc of starboard and going for it.
