Man- that looks great! Couldn’t wrap my head around your concept but now I get it. Would love to do that if I repower
That looks great! I've been tempted to redo the electronics and rebuild that console like you and so many others have - I am however reluctantly waiting for the repower.
i will be starting this project next week. What type of gasket did you put behind the panels? I assume I can get something from Home Depot that will work. Thanks!

I see you drawing specs show 3.5 in hole for gauges. 85mm is Suzuki spec thats just under 3 3/8 in. I was going to order a 3 3/8 hole saw online but much easier to buy a 3.5 at HD. Thoughts??

Got the switches all wired up, the gauges switched over and wired and cut out for the 2 12” panels. Radar is installed too. Should get wrapped up this week and then I’ll start the auto pilot which I’m kind of nervous about. Won’t be long now!

Got everything hooked up. Now I’ve got to figure out active captain to update the charts. I’m not a very good app guy Never had Garmin before. I’ll tackle the autopilot next. Almost done for this year
