NEW GAUGE AND SERVICE PANELS INSTALL

[LATE BITE]

MY '01 26 BILLFISHER HAD CRACKS IN THE CORNERS OF THE GAUGE AND SERVICE PANELS. I FOUND THAT SEAWARD PRODUCTS USED TO MAKE ALL THE PANELS FOR BLACKMAN BOATS. THEY GAVE THAT PART OF THE BUSINESS TO A GUY NAMED DENNIS IGARASHI. SUPER NICE GUY. I HAVE A YANMAR INBOARD AND I WAS SURE THE GAUGE PANEL WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I SENT PICS OF ALL MY PANELS, AND DENNIS WAS ABLE TO MAKE NEW ONES. THE SERVICE PANELS HAVE INTERCHANGEABLE LABELS AND STAINLESS INSERTS IN THE CORNERS TO PREVENT CRACKING. HE ALSO WAS ABLE TO GET ALL NEW GAUGES WITH THE GAUGE PANEL. HIS PRICES WERE VERY REASONABLE AND SERVICE WAS XLT. HIS PHONE # IS 626-374-6422. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU GUYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

HAVE NOT INSTALLED THEM YET. I AM INSTALLING A STERN THRUSTER AND A FEW MORE THINGS THAT WILL GO THRU THE SERVICE PANEL. THE PANELS LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES. EVEN HAVE THE " BLACKMAN BOATS" ON THEM. I WILL POST SOME PICS WHEN COMPLETED. FOR NOW I USED CUPPED STAINLESS WASHERS TO COVER UP THE CRACKS.
