    Ideas??

    I'm planning on changing out my Lowrance HDS 7 at the console, but its flush mounted so there will be a hole left after removal. I plan on adding a Deck-it mount for my new unit but would like to get the hole covered before doing so. Can I buy a cover if so where can I get one? If not...any ideas or suggestions that will help me out?

    What boat? There are companies that make replacement panels and some manufacturers will supply replacement panels if you don’t want to make your own.

    Get a piece of plexiglass and spray paint the BACK of it black or whatever color you want.

    I ordered 4 different pieces of Starboard for a project from this place. It was perfectly sized, and they will radius or round one, or both edges. Easy to drill and mount. Or they will pre-drill holes based on your template. Pick your thickness.
    Very reasonably priced.

    I made new panels out of 1/8" aluminum plate, and then sent them to board sponsor Hydrilla Gear to have them hydro-dipped. They did an AWESOME JOB, with a fast turn around!!!!!
