THANX BRIAN, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I DID IT. I DIDN'T MOUNT THE BRACKET YET,(ON THE BOAT),BUT I'VE GOT ALL THE HOLE'S DRILLED. GOT JUST A LITTLE MORE WORK ON THE INSIDE BEFORE I BOLT IT UP.THE BRACKET CLEARED THE TRIM TAB MAST BY A "C" HAIR [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . IF I HAD A DIGITAL CAMERA, I'LD SEND PICTURE'S OF THE CONSOLE. HERE'S WHAT I DID. TOOK THE DOOR'S OFF AND CUT THE COSOLE UNDER THE HELM FROM PORT TO STARBOARD ALL THE WAY ACROSS AT AN ANGLE DOWN GOING FORWARD 6" FROM THE BOTTOM,THEN TURNED THE CUT 90 DEGREES AFT TO COME BACK OUT. FROM THE SIDE IT LOOK'S LIKE I CUT AN "L" SHAPE OUT OF THE CONSOLE. THE I BUILT A MOLD THAT I SCREWED TO THE CONSOLE. DID ALL THE GRINDING [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ,AND LAID IT UP WITH GLASS. IT CAME OUT GREAT. IF YOU LOOK AT A NEW 25' SEACRAFT YOU'LL SEA WHAT IT LOOK'S LIKE. LT DAN P.S. I'VE BEEN TO COSTA RICA TOO [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
