I started the dreded job of going back together with the Livorsi Mosnters. Today I cut the wood out for the relocated switches and the console installed. The fuel, volt, volt, ignition switches and lanyards panel wired and installed. 3 hrs. Going back together with the new gauges is a little more tedious because the old Graffig gauges has the lights pre-wired into the gauge and the Livorsi's have a light that has to be wired into the existing wiring that was on the Graffig gauges so I had to do a little extra work.
Joe here you can see how much slack I got after you get in there good.

I got the switches installed today, thank God I took plenty of pictures, what a rats nest. My fingers feel like they went thru a meat grinder. I just kept thinking about what 007joe said, "You are a brave man" and got'er done.

Today I installed the water pressure, fuel pressure and oil temp gauges, these 6 gauges are the gauges my boat didn't have that I added. I had to make a wiring harness because there were no existing wires for them. I still have to run them to the engine sensors but I'll do that after the dash is finished.
