Trying to figure what I want to do to make the trolling motor plug in panel look new again.

paint it. the lettering won't be black anymore but I doubt it would look bad.

I started filling in the holes yesterday and plan on painting it. If it doesn’t turn out I’ll make some sort of aluminum plate for it

I was contemplating making an aluminum plate for mine but for now I'll probably keep it like it is. I had good results making a plate for my console though with 1/16" aluminum and a grinder and some matte black rustoleum turned out pretty nice

Made some progress on my trolling motor plug plate. Not finished yet but looking a lot better.

 

[Bowlershop]

Added the trolling motor plug to the plate. I also have a trim tilt switch I’m going to put on here that hasn’t cam in the mail yet.

Also mounted the trolling motor base and did some front deck work.

Started carpeting the rear deck........I have been dreading this day....so far so good.

 

[Bowlershop]

Thank god!!! Done with that part!!!!!

Looks amazing ! Thanks for sharing the progress.

I ordered my seats and my CMC trim tilt. I also did soome measuring and figured I should order some more carpet. Still trying to decide what I want to use for a locator.

Carpeted the front casting deck. I also finished up the switch panel in the dash so it matches the trolling motor plug in panel.

Looks great. I have the same switch plate and trolling motor plug panel. I also want to reuse them. My trolling motor plug plate is warped real bad.

How did you get the warpage out of yours? What did you fill it with? Is the logo paint or a decal?

Where did you get the rocker switches and indicator lights for the switch plate? Same question for logo?

Mine wasn’t warped to much at all. Maybe a little heat would help straighten it? The indicator lights are the factory ones that were in there.If yours didn’t have then you can get rocker switches with indicators on them. I got my rocker switches from farm and fleet. The decals I had custom made by discountinueddecals.com..........they have made me several decals including the custom ones on the sides of my boat. Just shoot them and email of what you want.

I filled the holes with regular autobody bondo.

Thanks! I was thinking about putting it in the oven long enough to soften it. And then put it between two boards and clamp it down. Hopefully it will stay straight when it cools. Here are my parts.
