265 X - flat panel dash

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!
