Source for OEM-like Black Aluminum Helm Electrical and Instrument Panels

Postby Jean-Do » Tue Aug 07, 2018 5:24 am

Hello guys—I re-powered my 1989 Revenge 22 W-T with twin Evinrude E-TEC 115-HP engines. The installer used plastic boards to cover the old instruments holes and installed the new instruments. It’s not so nice. I want to change that.

Where to find original black aluminium panels?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt you can find the trapezoidal instrument panel as an off-the-shelf part.

When I remodeled the instrument panel on my 1990 Revenge 22 W-T Whaler Drive boat, I fabricated my own new panels from aluminum sheet. I described the process in an article. See:

You might be able to get a panel made from a vendor. For advice see:

Hello Jim,
Thanks for your answers. I’ll try to find that kind of panels in Europe and shape them. I’ll post the result.
Kind regards
