    front dash hole

    Does anybody have any ideas on filling in the square cut out where a depth finder goes out the front deck dash. I want to ram mount my new one and fill the hole where my old X-51 was.

    I can make them any size with or without logos. Here is a 5'' with a Stroker. As I said before many just cut out some plexiglass and paint. A small 5'' soild black run about $10 shipped

    I went to Lowes and got some aluminum diamond plate to cover the hole where I had my 788 flush-mounted at the bow. I them mounted my 898 to that.

    If you dont have a radio, I put the waterproof radio cover and got the after market radio dash bracket for a honda and used the storage section from it. I had to cut it out a little wider, but it also has a small storage section were my cell phone and wallet fits perect and now i have some tunes....

    I work with sheet plastic and just used some scrape carbon infused Co-Ploy for mine. with that said any sheet plastic you can find will work. I would like to have a Triton sticker on it now that matched my colors.

    Piece of stainless added and I used the existing holes that the of the depth finder that came with the boat. Couple of pop rivets, a bungy and now I have a place to keep my phone. Idea stolen from Tracker Boats.



    No idea why the picture is posting sideways...just tilt your head.
