[QUOTE="Tin Yachtsman, post: 226051, member: 3536"] Today was supposed to be "Carpet the Decking Day", but after a trip to Lowe's and Home Depot, I realized that the only carpet they had with "marine backing" was charcoal gray and green. Neither color was what I had in mind, so I think I will order online. Bad planning on my part, I know. But the Teleflex steering cable arrived yesterday, so today became "Install the Steering Cable Day" instead. That only took 15 minutes, so I turned my attention to the rest of the steering, gauges, and dash dismantling. [img]https://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o18/jburas/4df63757.jpg[/img] [img]https://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o18/jburas/54adf041.jpg[/img] [img]https://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o18/jburas/14231350.jpg[/img] I got everything disassembled from the dash except the tach. It looks like I have to open the OMC control box to disconnect the wiring for that. Is that right? I have three options that I can see for a new dash. I have plenty of 3/4" plywood left, and I could cut a new dash out of that and put some kind of trim around it. I also have some scrap 3/16" aluminum, but I am worried about it not being thick enough. My final option would be to find a nice piece of wood and stain it. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
