If you look at the picture of the helm on my boat, you see and old plywood box that holds the guages. The lower portions are rotted and delaminating and is a real eyesore, now that other parts of the boat are starting to look good. I removed it over the weekend, which was a
b---ch because someone 5200 the thing down, so it came out in pieces. I am in the proceess of building an exact replica that I will glass and paint.
This post is looking for suggestions to improve upon the original design. I have thought of putting a pod like the larger boats have to get the wheel up higher and clean up the lines like this;
But right now I have a lot of other things going on in the interior to tackle a moving the steering and wiring project this year. I have mocked up a new plywood box but I am open to suggestions. Any suggestions no matter how crazy would be appreciated. Here is what the old one looked like. It is now in about three pieces in my shop. Thanks in advance for all suggetions.
