I took pictures and then I drew a diagram for the whole back of the panel. Position of pins and colors of wires and any jumpers etc! SUCKED!! Had a gremlin after that took a while to find.. Ended up being power wire coming from Molex plug to kill switch on S motor! Argh!!

Fun times!
Unwiring and rewiring every gauge sucked and was by far the worst part! (Twins)
That is the worse part. I dont know what you did but I took a couple pictures then labeled each wire with a tape tag.
I did mine the day before 4th July, and drank a 12 pack while rewiring.... LOL

Looks like we have the same dash. Here is a pdf showing the dimensions and a step file and AutoCAD file that your fabricator can use for CNC work (LASER or water jet etc). If you want different gauge hole sizes or locations you can fill them in on the drawing or let me know and I will modify the drawings for you.

Well, it looks like I can only attach the pdf. Shoot me your email address and I will send you the other files.

Edit. Double click on the image to see the full pdf.

And yes, the depth transducer is unreachable unless you pull the engine. A friend of mine has a 272 though and his transducer is mounted toward the front of the engine and still reads well. His is slightly easier to access so you might want to try mounting yours in this location. You can easily see where the coring stops on the hull. The bottom 3 or 4 inches of the hull (right at the vee) is not cored and you can shoot through this easily. The original transducer is the one mounted in the front and I added the NMEA 2000 one just behind it. If I had known that a location farther forward worked well I would have certainly moved the NMEA transducer to that location. I kept both systems but there is some interference on the original depth finder if both are running at the same time.

That looks like something our Bomb Squad would send the new guy to to kick it. Looks very complicated. Haven't pulled mine yet, but sure hope it isn't quite that bad. Just a single so that should help....
