Bro-Cal, looks great! How about a side profile some time, to see how much bend in that panel.

Really like it, nice job! I'm considering adding a second 8610xsv and wondering where you put the VHF. I don't have an overhead box under my roof so my initial thought was I'd separate the two gagues in the upper compartment and put the VHF between them.
Ps: I mounted my fusion radio on the side of the electronics box just inside the cabin and control it from my phone etc. Opened the box last summer and noticed it was really warm in there so I'll be cutting vents on the starboard side of that box soon.

Dual Garmin 8610xsv. Earlier in the thread has the full bill of materials for all the electronics. Autopilot is Garmin Reactor 40 and auto trim tabs are Bennett Trim Tabs AP000A1HA AutoTrim Pro Hydraulic.

Lots of pictures of install if you scroll up to original post.

Nice job, I just made a lower section out of di-bonded material and 3D printed some custom backers with riv-nut inserts. Also 228, I like yours bette!

I was inspired when I saw there was enough room for two 8610 xsv's. It was tight but also managed to squeeze the radio in the top compartment too.
