My New Gauge Panel

[DFreedom]

I just wanted to share my latest project. I have been wanting to improve the look of my console since I bought the boat. I found a guy up North that said he would laser cut me a new panel but once I attempted to get him to do it, he "lost" my pattern, and went up on his price. I said the hell with him and decided to do it myself. I attached pictures of the old console and the "new" one. As you can see, I added some gauges. Now the fun part comes, figuring out how to wire all this stuff up. Anyway, just wanted to share and show what most of us are capable of if we put our minds to it.

That does look good,,,,but why didn't you put the Garmin on top of the console? That looks pretty low to me. Is it hard to read way down there?

Looks great. Who needs laser cutting? Has any one used or seen corian plastic used for a dash panel? It is easy to polish to a high gloss and dupont rates it fo outdoor use.

I thought about putting it on top of the console but it will tilt so if I am standing I can tilt it up. It was already mounted low by the previous owner, I just moved it over because the steering wheel blocked it. I had not thought of corian, not sure how it would do after a lot of exposure to the sun.
