    2005 294 Pro XL blank bow panel

    I'm looking for a blank bow cover (center) for a 2005 Stratos 294XL. Anybody have one or know where to find one? I've searched everywhere on the internet that i could find. Thanks.

    On the center of the bow, there is a blank cover. On the right of it is the cover that has the tilt/trim switch and an accessory switch. On the left of it is the cover with the trolling motor plug. The center cover is cracked. I would like to find a new one and I'm going to put on/off switches for my Hbird and future Livescope and a 12v outlet for charging remotes, etc. I have talked to a guy about making one out of aluminum if i can't find an original. Using a cutting board is a good idea as well. Another option that i can consider. Thanks for the reply.

    cutting board is the way to go in my opinion as well. I had the stock cover/holder for my lowrance crack on my 2015. Made a new one out of cutting board and painted it up black. Looks factory. Plus side is its also super easy to work with

    Search for HDPE sheet material online. I have made all sorts of covers out of this. Very easy to work with if you have basic hand tools.

    I made mine out of stainless and wrapped it with vinyl. Plastic would be easier since you want to add switches. I just used mine for a cover since my graphs are now mounted on the deck.

    I made mine out of plexiglass. Primed the Plastic and then painted.
