My fishing buddy has a 1994 Stratos 275 Pro XL. It is either 17 or 17 1/2 foot boat and has a depth finder built into the dash. Unfortunately, it does not work, even though it does light up and looks like it will. My question is how do you get to it to take it out to have it fixed or replaced? The fiberglass dash has a black plastic molded cover where the depth finder and all the gauges are. It looks like you have to remove the windshield and steering to remove the black molded part. Then, you have to wonder about the wiring to all the gauges.

It does not look like good design to me. What is the proper way to remove the depth finder?? Thanks for your help>
