Nothing major just figured I'd share.
Got tired of my cramped dashboard which became even more cramped now with my new 7" Garmin which was blocking my tach.
Before with Humminbird Helix 5
Cramped with a Garmin echomap 74
This week I went ahead and removed my VHF radio and tach so I can move the tach to the far right. I've also been contemplating adding a fuel gauge, but still 50/50 on it.
After removing the radio and tach, I fiberglassed and patched up the holes, sanded and repainted. My color matching wasn't the greatest, it came out a little on the grey side and not a cream color, just really ugly. So I removed all of the new paint and I'll mix up a batch of paint later on.
This is filler not paint


I was thinking of putting back the vinyl stickers on the dash wall, but I wanted something with a little more pop, so I went with black ABS board that I will put on both sides of my dashboard walls.
I used my Dremel to cut out the driver side piece, then I used a heat gun, while I had the piece screwed in place, to make the plastic bend and take shape to the wall, worked out great.


Tonight I decided to cut a hole for my tach because I wanted to see how it will look before moving forward, so far so good. But as you can see I still have some painting to do.

I'm also working on a board that my VHF radio will be attached to in its new location.
I saw where Fisherdv's had his radio and thought it was an ideal spot, so I copied it, thanks Fisher.👍
It will work out great for me because I'll still be able to see my radio, have it within reach, but it will be out of the way.
I have a extra cutting board so I went ahead and used it, as it should work for what I have planned.
The beginnings.

My work continues....
