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.

haha... knew that wasn't as easy as you made it sound, just make sure when you trim up the hatch doesn't open... just kidding looks like its coming along great!!

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.
