Ideas to read my indicators better
My mechanical trim and tab indicators are very hard to read because they are mounted flat. I wanted to get an angled "bezel" made but after seeing how they mount that won't work. So, I thought about putting some kind of "extension" on the indicators themselves and machining slots in the face panel so the indicators would actually potrude above the panel. But that would leave them open to the elements.
Any ideas?

I was going to suggest the same thing that you are thinking. just get small 1/4" extensions to stick up and you should be good. I wouldn't worry about elements too much, as all fountains are like that (open slots with no cover). Or when not using the boat, just put a flip a tupperware container upside down on top of it to keep out any water your cover may let in.

Do you really need to see the indicators?
Can't feel your way thru it? thats the cheapest way.
I could just feel the boat was running right.

I pulled off the cover and rigged up a mock setup and ran it a couple weekends ago and I loved knowing where my tabs were all the time. Now I just want to figure out how to do and make it look good.
