Thanks, J Kyle, That's very helpful! :)

Hi, everyone, Does anyone have access to a simple video that demonstrates how to replace the starboard trim cylinder, including bleeding the hydraulic lines? I googled this, and all that I've seen are videos for Alphas, etc. I know this is pretty simple, I just want to make sure to cover all...

That's next on my list! :-))

Hi, Iggy, I tried to access that link, but I was blocked. ;-/ Anyway, I want to find a switch to provide power to my Simrad and a VHF radio. Te Simrad will be part of the NENA2K network.. I believe that I can do it by utilizing the unused wiper switch. I just don't know enough about the...

OK, fellow boaters. Back at it again after getting my 2004 Sunesta 252 'summer-ized'? I left my last project unfinished after running out of time. I'm still looking for anyone that might be able to tell me if they're familiar with the wiring in the console of this model. I'm looking for a...

One more power source, however, not switched... I am considering the accessories outlet, which is where I usually plug in my phone charger, conveniently located to the left of the steering wheel. There are two yellow and one red wire:

Yet, another update, I removed the panel, which contained several switches, one of which said 'Wipers', which I assume is not being used, since I have no wipers. The first image is the back of the panel. I noticed that there are wires attached to it, some of which (purple and yellow) seem to...

Another update... I looked around the helm instrument cluster and noticed that there is a switch to the very right of the steering wheel that is labeled 'wipers'. Since I don't have wipers, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to dedicate this switch to all the electronics (Simrad...

Just a little update... I've installed the NMEA 2K backbone, connected the Simrad to it, but haven't installed the power or the Lowrance sonar (transducer) yet. A post that I read in another forum brought to my attention what I think would be worth considering... "Many boats are rigged with...

I had Boat Outfitters use Starboard to fabricate five pieces that I will assemble. They will be able to router all the edges that I requested. I will use the existing cupholders to stabilize a 4" x 12" platform that will support the gimbal bracket that supports the Simrad unit. This is a...

That's quite a transformation! I will be taking a simpler route-I hope! :cool:

I missed something. Could you explain??

That sounds like an interesting, simple approach, but I'll need to get some measurements to see how it might fit; I'm inclined to think it might be too tall. The unit comes with a mount that is flat on the bottom, which would rest upon the slight curvature of the shelf where the compass sits...

I'm on the hunt for a fabricator. This will take place during the offseason, of course. ;) I appreciate your insights! (y)(y)

This is what my console looks like. I wish I could find a fabricator that could remove the instrument panel and insert a flat panel to maybe flush-mount the NSX, and possibly some other gauges, USB ports, devices, etc.
