Bling on the console
 

OK here's the story [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

My top mounted helm was 15 years old and giving me some fits so I snagged an undermount model on eBay.
Jason made me buy this Gucci wheel by Gem Products. I made a teak pad to house the helm, fluid fill tube and cover the old mounting holes. I also had to get a new trottle cable so I figure I would ditch the old OMC plastic binnacle mount and match the wheel with a push/pull polished Kolbelt control. With a few ajustments and everything seems to be working perfectly :eek:

I had to construct a wedge type block to accommodate the throw of the trottle.

The power trim switch was mounted along side the trim tab rockers.

I finished flush mounting all electronics within the locking console slides
