Its the fiberglass tray that holds engine instruments.

It will hold radio when I’m done. This one met its maker. Stupid 5200 doing 5200 things instead of giving up.

Engine control panel.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Nothing shows up but touch screens. You have a site that I can reference?

I just need the fiberglass shell. I’m not putting gauges back on there.

Thats an example.

If you are not replacing the gauges then you can use a flat piece of plywood, sealed.

Plan is radio and some switches (nav, anchor, etc). Was hoping to get the set back tub type thing but no cuts. Everything I’m finding assumes gauges.

Starting to look that way. Likely to end up a simple sheet of flat stock covering the hole with nothing in it. Not ideal to have things sticking into an area that tends to collect tails of working lines.
