    Looking for options to cover over an old dash install

    Thanks for the input everybody. Went with a piece of black starboard.

    Looking for options to cover over an old dash install

    I'm replacing my old Furuno radar with a Simrad Halo 20+. Since I will no longer need the Furuno MFD, I'm replacing it with a Simrad NSX 7" that will fit flush in the dash in its place. Problem is, the Furuno's going to leave a bigger hole than the NSX 7 is going to fill. First thought is...

    Simrad 9" EVO3s install

    The EVO3S has 2 card slots so I'm running both. I'm still getting familiar with everything each chart can do. My early impression is the CMAP Reveal bottom floor view looks nice but doesn't have as detailed bathymetric lines as the Navionics Platinum. The Navionics lets me do live downscan...

    cracks at the motor mounts

    I have a 2008 2120 with F225 on the back with a very similar gelcoat crack. As far as I've been able to tell, the transom is solid and no structural issues going on. I scraped the gelcoat along the crack to widen it and filled it with epoxy. Plan is to cover it over with a fresh layer of...

    Simrad 9" EVO3s install

    My Furuno 1724C and DFF1 fishfinder were nearing 15yrs old and the DFF1 gave out on me. No signal to the transducer. There weren't any great options for just replacing the DFF module so it was time to finally upgrade. I installed this new Simrad 9" EVO3s and a StructureScan 3D module. Until...

    LED Nav Light's

    Those 2mi Attwood LED navlights are what I use too. The green died on me in the 2nd year. Installed another of same model going 3years now on the green/stb replacement and 5years for original red/port with no other issues. They have a 10yr warranty so you shouldn't normally have any issues at...

    The 12x18 trimtab upgrade Dale finally convinced me to do

    After sea trial, I ended up adding 1/4" shims fab'd from 1/4" starboard into shape of the actuator mounting footprint and mounted using 1/4" longer bolts. The Lenco recommendation is trailing edge of tab should be 3/4" above the plane along the bottom of hull. Using the Parker factory...

    2006 2120 SC F225 Motor Mounting Hight.

    My 2120 SC has a F225 too and I raised the motor twice, finally ending up at the highest bolt hole position. What prop do you have? I'm spinning a Yamaha SWS II 15.75 x 15pitch and can just touch 40Mph@5900RPM. You can see in the picture I also added a Bob's Machine Shop wedge to give a little...

    The 12x18 trimtab upgrade Dale finally convinced me to do

    Got mine online from BOE Marine for $739 (Lenco 12x18 edge mount kit w/ LED switch) Wanted to do the LED switch upgrade while I was at it and trying to buy only the tab blades while also wanting a new LED switch separately didn't make much cost sense over just getting a new full kit. The...
