Hi all, hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We are planning some upcoming things for our spring visit to our 1987 Carver 4207 and one of the items I'm struggling with is the upper helm station "stencil"
Do any of you know where to get a replacement stencil kit for the two panels on either side of the wheel? Mine is a brushed-metal background with black lettering for all of the controls, etc. (switch names, spotlight controls, etc)
I'd really like to take the old gauges off, then remove all the old stencil/writing, etc and then polish the metal then put new stencils on.
Who makes em?
Thanks in advance!
Steve and Tammy

You might consider, take a good pic, measure and go to a sign shop. You may get some help there.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Are you sure those panels are actually metal? Some have a brushed aluminum look, but are actually plastic.

Re: -Stencil kit for upper helm station?
Just food for thought, I was going to do that exact project on a previous boat and ran across https://www.tecnografic.com/ A gentleman named Connor Lowerre the Sales and Design Manager 954-928-1714 located in Ft Lauderdale FL. I sent him my old panels and in about 10 days had awesome replacement panels that still look great today. I want to say each panel was in the 600-dollar range (about 12 years ago) and I took the time to upgrade all the gauges at the same time. It was worth the extra spend.

Re: -Stencil kit for upper helm station?
Just checked out that website...first, thanks for your response, I'm looking for something like that for sure.
I'd only add that it'd be great if I could just find the stencils but that doesn't seem to be the case. There may be though, a way that I can get them "printed" from either a Cricut or similar style machine so I'm considering that direction, we'll see!
Thanks again !
