Custom Dash

I am thinking about adding some additional gauges but the stock dash panels on my boat won't accommodate them. Does anyone have any experience with people who do custom dash work? Anyone have any experience someone doing custom work in wood dash panels for a boat? Thank you.

Re: Custom Dash

www.teammarine.com ask for Kevin. I have worked with them in the past of a few different projects and they come out perfect everytime. I always make up a cardboard or paper template and include the original for them to see what i want done. They can set you up with only a dash plate or a whole wired job with gauges and switches if you want.

Re: Custom Dash

I used a piece of 1/4 " clear lexan, taped off graphics and painted from the back side, measured locations for gages I bought from Fred at Trick Marine cut the holes rounded the edges and rewired. Took about 4 hours.
