Default NEW DASH opinions.....

What do you think of this layout?

I have:
182C GPS
2: tachs
4: Water temp and water pressure
4: Oil temp and oil pressure
1: volt meter
1: fuel gauge

Figured I'd cluster each engine in the banks of 4 on each side and put the volt and fuel gauge in the center.

Don't know yet It appears a 1/8 thick piece of aluminum powder coated to match will work great.....I'm not looking forward to removing/re-installing all those gauges.

Here is the current one. It includes floscan gauges (that are no longer hooked up) and a GPS speedo that will not be re-installed.

I think your setup's superb, and you came to many of the same conclusions I did. (I picked a different GPS but thats another thread)

I prioritized tach and water pressure- then the display.
The guys at Lavey custom made my dash for this GPS.

Look forward to seeing the rest of your setup t500hps-

Check out my new 2750 in the Laveycraft forum Ive been documenting my build and recently agonized over what you are going through.
