My Active Thunder project I have 2 10" tablets setup for gauges. I'm going to use linear potentiometers driven off the indicator cables for drive and tab postilions.
Heath, sorry for the derailment. Back to the regularly scheduled thread. lol

That's super cool Jason. Thanks for the input. I've already got most of my pro comp marine gauges purchased and knowing my luck I'd lose power to the display about the time I lost oil pressure on one of my motors lol

I put the hatches together and sat them in place. Not installed yet. They look pretty close to original. Kind of a dull nickel plated look. Also Billy has been working on the trailer. Few coats of urethane primer…

Very nice

The hatches look good, I also like the open vertical supports on the trailer. Most are the square tube that rusts from the inside out.

Thanks, yeah I went with the open c channel on the trailer for that reason. Doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing but who really cares.

So much for having time to work on the boat. We've been super slammed at the shop. Plus secretary of 25 years retired 3 weeks ago. It's been a zoo around here!
