    265 Express

    You are going to have to cut the opening to fit 12" read thru this. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/265-x-flat-panel-dash.31837/ Make a template out of cardboard. NewWire Marine will make a panel but it'll cost ALOT.

    Switch LEDs

    Anybody ever changed the LED lights out in the OEM switches? My nice blue lens NewWire rocker covers light up green instead of blue because the LEDs are amber... P/N for replacement LEDs would help...

    Amber indicator lights or toggle switch ‘87 seafarer

    I have the same things. Offhand, I don't know the manufacturer. I "think" the switch manufacturer might be Cole Hersee. But I don't think they'll be that hard to match up, regardless of manufacturer. Pull a switch out and look at it - if you can still read the tag, it will tell you. Don't...

    Amber indicator lights or toggle switch ‘87 seafarer

    ...They look like a black paddle toggle switch. searching the board finds ancient posts to nowhere... someplace called RadioShack (lol) thank you. I should probably trash the panel and rewire with a panel from NewWire Marine but I'm feeling industrious now that I'm out of the water for the year.

    panel switches... Fuel switch? is this useless?

    I have the same hull as you, went with a newwire panel as well and I ditched that fuel switch as I have only one tank.

    Helm switches new label

    The only problem with those Josh is that they are printed switches and not laser engraved. As a result, the labels will eventually wear off. The ones I used from NewWire are laser engraved. The LED backlight shines through the lettering so that it can easily be seen at night and wont wear off.

    Helm switches new label

    I paid NewWireMarine to do the entire thing. That includes new switches, circuit breakers, the acrylic black backing plate and a wiring harness. That said, they are really easy to work with as a company and should be able to customize whatever you need. (Just cover, switches and covers, the...

    265 X - flat panel dash

    They want $650 for my dash which is tough to justify because I can make it myself with 1/2" Starboard for under $100 with lots of material leftover. Cut on CNC would look better but not $550 better... What is the LuxMatte material like? It looks great in pix but I have never seen it for real...

    265 X - flat panel dash

    I just redid my helm on my GW 275 with the NewWire LuxMatte. It was a turned out great and they were good guys to work with. The LuxMatte comes at a premium price but for me it was worth it for the look and feel.

    265 X - flat panel dash

    ...plexi for the finish panel. The old gauge panel will be remade into a cubby with hinged lid in "carbonfiber pattern" ABS to match the Newwire switch panel. I'm thinking of having Newwire make that with an engraved GW 265 Express logo. Cubby will be a lift out tray for easy access to fuses...

    Purchasing new toggle switches

    If the switches are Carling and still work, just change the covers like several here have done. 10 seconds per switch. Newwire marine $4.99 each. See similar threads on this forum for more info.

    ...switch panel. The Troll Mode switch is under the binnacle. Kept a lot of empty space on the dash for things I might want to do later. I am going to replace the switch panel, ditch the old oval switches for Contura II. Might get it from NewWire or maybe do it myself since I'm "workin' from...

    Where did you buy the etched switches?

    GW 265 Express Electronics Upgrade

    ...then trimmed them down on my router table. Cutting out the interior holes was a bit more effort and not as clean as you'd probably get from NewWire but it wasn't that hard and with the switches installed you can't see any of the rough edges anyway. If you're asking about all the space in...

    GW 265 Express Electronics Upgrade

    Awesome! New etched switches on my list too. Did you do the panel yourself or did you use NewWire.com? I was on that site and tried using their panel designer and I could not get 5 switches across that width. I like the carbon fiber look over black Starboard. When they put my motors on they...

    ...my paneltronics in it. I ordered from Go2 Marine: SKU 100309 DC 18 position. Model 3204. I ordered a new switch panel for the dash from NewWire Marine. They did a fantastic job...sized exactly as you want. I mounted my new dash switch panel in place of the old gages. I am replacing my...
