Great Job! What did you do with your old gauges? if you still have them would you be interested in selling them?

Thanks! As for the old gauges, I will prob hold onto them for the moment. I kept everything in order to put the boat back to factory specs, should the next owner prefer the old style. I really doubt that though. I'll definitely keep you in mind if I decide to let them go.

Brilliant! Looks great. I agree that having the screens up high is unsatisfactory! Which Garmins do you go with (size wise)? Also, if you dont mind me asking, what did it cost for the console? I suspect it would fit my 2003 530 as well?
Thanks!

Hi Tim, thank you! I went with the Garmin 8612 screens. They are 12 inch screens. As far as I know, the dash in my 99 would be the same as your 03 but I can't be positive. I did all the leg work on this mold so I am in it more than anyone else would need to be. Give CAC Plastics in Wasilla Alaska a call. Tell them you talked to Dave with the boat dash and have them give you a quote using my mold. They have it in their possession.

That looks great!
I don't know why anyone would want to go back to the factory set up.
