10 Meter Updating
Hello all you "Fountain-heads", wanted to share some updating to my 89' 10 Meter. Started with a blank canvas, had a few ideas but nothing in stone. Wanted to update the exterior, dash and cockpit carpeting to start with. [ATTACH=CONFIG]522725[/ATTACH]

Had a few years of dock rash repaired, nothing serious.... just cosmetics. They found a little "extra" that some pirates took off the boat. Wishing It was still on the boat.... hydraulic steering ! I had that look on my face... you know when you see your own car on blocks after some fool done stole your 22"s. #$@%&

Here is a shot of the cockpit before, all original to the boat.... except the totally narly engine synch. ( black box to the right of the compass ) Actually worked until it was unhooked last season. Any takers on the synchronizer... ? :drool1

Took a shot of the dash apart... the crew said it wasn't too badly chopped up behind the panel. Fountain did a pretty good job of wiring a boat perhaps. Had the new Livorsi gauges sitting in the garage for four years, before getting around to installing them.

Went to install the new gauges in the freshly painted dash and found this... semi-circle scratches on the lenses. ( at the right angle of light, the scratches really showed up ) Guessing it came from the press, putting the gauges together. Have to applaud Tony at Livorsi, he fixed me up with brand new lenses and he had the gauges back to installer within the week.

Had an idea for the dash... sent a rendering to the painter. What do you guys think, too much, not enough ??
Wanted to get rid of the speedometer gauge, feeder line was always clogged up and didn't like it. Adding a garmin gps unit to replace the gauge; wanted to place the garmin in the same place as the gauge but the painter had a better idea....

Not sure if you are aware, but Fountains had plugs on those gauge harnesses, and switch harnesses. Meaning that you can reach into the side where all the wires go into, and unplug like 4 or 5 plugs, and remove the entire dash with the gauges, switches, etc intact. Build the dash on the workbench, then plug it all back into the connectors
