Title: Instrument Panel
Post by: JimCt on November 17, 2006, 07:57:16 AM

Any recommendation for a supplier to reproduce the original gray instrument panel for my 240. Need to have the AS script duplicated on the new panel.  I have the original panel to use as an example.

Just spoke with Scott and had a good conversation regarding layout, switches  and so forth.  Will send the old panel to him next week.

jim, going w/ breakers or fuses?

That'll be Scott's call.  I'm not "up-to-date" regarding what's available.  My only criterion right now is that the panel be simple, bulletproof and waterproof.

I would recommend breakers... I am not well versed in marine electrical, but have done a ton of 12V (automotive) work in my life, and they're normally the best option for durability and dependability.
