[QUOTE="dirty dave, post: 439316, member: 18346"] It has been a while since i have updated. Got new wood milled to thickness and cut to shape. I then drilled and cut out all my holes. I then sealed the wood with spar urethane, thinning about 50%, 25% then 2 full coats. Let it cure for a few days and got it back in the console. Got my switch panel mounted along with steering and bolted console back in with new stainless hardware. Set some jugs this past weekend and caught 2 catfish, got rained on, ran out of gas in 6 gallon tank, i had a back up 2 gallons. Then had a trailer tire blow out on the way home. Bout to start the wiring part. I got my fuse block mounted on some cutting board and got it mounted under the console. The new steering worked very well, while it takes a second to get used to the no feedback clutches, it takes minimal effort to turn the wheel, and im not worried about my cable failing anymore.
