New pics of my dash

Here are some pics I snapped today of my dash-in-progress. I plant to completely redo it again when I have access to some good woodworking tools but the first attempt pictured here turned out pretty good. There is also a pic of my new windshield, edson wheel, and custom radar mount. There is also a blurry pic of the dash at night to show how cool the LED backlit Blue Sea WeatherDeck switch panels look!

Very Nice Work, I love the clean look with the touch of wood

Is that an "IPOD" mounted up in the radio box next to the switches? If so, how was it configured?

BTW: Cute Hood Ornament [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Looks nice !!

How do you like the "weatherdeck" switches ?? I saw them for the first time this weekend in one of those boat stores .... They look like they are pretty nice. Looks like the plastic cover snaps off to get to the fuses ??

You stocking them ??

Thanks guys! The ipod is mounted with velcro. The whole back of the ipod is covered with the fuzzy side and the boat has the hook side. It does not move! Configuration was easy, I just use a FM modulator to broadcast the signal and the unit runs off it's own batteries. I don't have the fm modulator plugged into it in the pic.

We do carry the weatherdeck panels. I am very impressed with them. My biggest criteria for a panel was that the labels would be backlit. This panel is one of the only games in town for that and has the auto style fuses built it. I could not be happier. The green and red LED's on the switch match the green and red backlighting on my raymarine display perfectly so it looks awesome at night. The 8 position weather deck panel is still not available but they do come in 2/4/and 6, white and dark gray.

That hood ornament is my 6 y/o border collie. She loves the boat as long as its not rough.

I think I just soiled myself looking at that Raymarine setup. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Nice work Jim. Those "weatherdeck" switch panels are pretty slick. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Jim,

Nice job! I know what you mean about re-doing with better tools. The good news is if you are doing it right over the years, you end up with better "templates"![img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Looks outstanding!

Is that the c80 or c120?

It is a C120.
