    1990 184 F/S Needs Pro Panel Frame

    Hello Everybody, after taking up the time of no less than THREE Moderators, I am the New Guy here! I actually have quite a Texas story just no time to type it up right now.

    Any way, I am looking for the Pro Panel Charger Frame in picture. Or maybe if anybody has taken the time to do a .STL 3D print file that would be fantastic.
    Any ideas accepted!

    Thanks,
    Sonny

    Welcome to BBC & the Champion board. I posted not long ago in a thread titled Bow trolling motor panel 1994 dc 190. Mark Miller at Select Marine Products does excellent work. 1bluemcm also has made some panels out of aluminum, I believe. Check out the thread Testing Flickr hosting - custom panels photo for some of his work

    Thanks for the input Tx C!
    I called Mark Miller and they would have to make a mold and all...costly for a piece of plastic. Hmmm, what next

    I had one made from stainless steel by a friend of mine. I eliminated the plug for the TM and installed a small LED courtesy light in its place.

    I've moved from the area and he has also moved so I've lost contact with him.

    He is not in business anymore as he retired.....if you have a sheet metal shop or a metal fabricating shop around you take the old frame with you and see if they can duplicate it...be sure they either worl with stainless or aluminum..

    Thanks Bruce2, I'm in tha country Man...no metal shops around here. Dang it was so nice in the old days working for Shell Research and Development. They had EVERY CRAFT needed to build, support and maintain the Petrochemical Industry and their Sheet Metal Shop was the greatest. Man, I had more stuff made for my Harley Davidson...it was truly custom. THAT is the one thing that I miss about living in the country*****NO CONNECTIONS****

    Sonny, there's a guy on the TFF that makes bow panels. I sent him a picture of mine (just like yours) and he said "no problem". Can make them out of fiberglass or carbon fiber.

    Texas Fishing Forum, but it would help if he had given a screen name to go with that info ...

    Texas Fishing Forum. He was posting in the classified section. I don't know his name on there but you can use the search feature for Bow Panel. I'll see if I can find his info for you in my emails. Might have deleted it.
