plugging holes in the dash???

[Liberator*21]

I used a alum. plate and polished it to cover my holes

The aluminum cover looks good but what if it were painted or powder coated to match the gel/paint color.......something to think about.

Just look at the same photo with only a section of it yellow to match, I think it looks better when it belnds in.............JMO

Here is another dash that maybe more applicable to what I think you could do with yours. Glass the back of the dash to plug the holes. Use wood plugs and epoxy in place. Feather the hole edges and glass the top. Bondo to make smooth. Use 1/8" aluminum plate and cut with a jigsaw to shape. This is very easy to do. Cut holes and paint.

Much better

I have exactly the same view on the number of instruments there should be in a pleasure boat. When I switched engine (from Yamaha to Merc) I also thought I would be stuck with a lot of holes but it was not so. I used carbon fibre to fill mine (one after a stero and the other after the ignition).

I was going to fill them in instead of covering them if I had more...

It does look good yellow! I actually glassed the old holes and then put the alum. plate on it and it looked alot better when it was polished and not covered with dirt from setting for a year.

This was just a quick saturday fix to get the autometer guages in it and the old 1976 stuff out
