I have some talented friends...
Thursday we will pull it outside and grind 4" wide strip around the cut. Then glass it in with 2" and 4" cloth (mat, roving, whatever the expert told us to use) The some white paint and clean up the deck before dropping the console back in.
After exploring all the options, time, and cost of redoing the electrical panel and switches, I am leaning strongly towards just reinstalling my original and plugging in the working harness.... Just not sure I would get 2K worth of value out of that project right now. And they all worked when I hauled out. I am planning on adding a few LED strips under the cockpit rod holders (courtesy of Wayne. Thank you!) Probably change out running lights and cockpit lights with LEDs. And a new bilge pump, as current one came with the boat 15 years ago.
