Hi all,
I recently submitted a post about replacing the floor on my aluminum fishing boat and I just have a few questions relating to the dash before I get everything started.
In the process of taking off the old floor I decided to take out the previous wiring to the dash as well. In order to get easy access to the fuse panel I drilled the the rivets and removed most of the aluminum structure that supported my plastic dash and now i'm wondering how I could go about replacing the old aluminum struture and where I could get a new marine dash?
I'm thinking I could either rivet the old aluminum back into place and paint it or perhaps I could just take of the rest of the aluminum and buy some sort of plastic supports along with a new dash?
I uploaded some pictures to create a visual and because when I looked at how the steering wheel is attached I became curious if I can simply unscrew the bolts on that metal rod and simply pull the steering wheel off as I redo the dash or if it's more complicated than that?
Thanks a lot for any help, all comments are appreciated!
