    New Dash/Shifter Project

    Dash is based on the 009. Labels were added for captains choice exhaust and hatch lift. Shifter is in the process of being made at Dana and will be charcoal metallic in color. The steering wheel has not been decided on but looking at the Isotta Carlotta with black leather. Any other ideas?

    Looks good!

    I'm in the process of doing that myself.
    You'll probably get there first though.

    Very nice! Did your source the dash plate through Donzi direct?

    Nice update. I know my 94 looks a little dated in the dash area. Was there much rewiring involved? I like the carbon fiber look with the white gauges.

    Looking good.

    Good question... Was it local manufactured or purchased from a vendor?

    Looks great!

    Thanks

    I like the Carlotta too. but this one would match the carbon...

    also, you can get the carlotta in a carbon fiber material

    And... don't be fooled by what the marine stores tend to carry. check out Isotta's catalog for the full line. They have a lot more colors and selection than you could imagine. For example: They have the carlotta in Tan, which hardly anyone carries, but would match my boat perfectly... I found it at only one store so far...

    Yeah the Panel was ordered through Donzi. They were able to do the switch labels to our specifications and they added two more switch holes for us. We deleted the Donzi 009 logo from the right side of the steering wheel.

    Was there much rewiring involved?
    Donzi was pretty clean in the original installation of the dash and my boat guy is going to be able to use part of the original harness to wire up the gauges. Livorsi uses those Deutche connectors and are supposed to be somewhat easy to hook up...

    Hey Vette I like that first steering wheel you listed, I think I overlooked that one when I was on monstermarines site earlier. The guy at Donzi said the steering wheel on the 009 special edition was around $1000 so I had to ditch that idea...

    Looking good! That was the first custom carbon fiber panel we've done so we appreciate the business!

    The Carlotta is a good choice.

    Thumbs up Finished Product

    Here's some pictures of the finished product. Steering wheel has to be ordered. The one in the picture is the older wheel. Everything turned out great. Work was done by Harris Performance, Jackson's Gap, Alabama.

    FYI, The throttle can be adjusted so that it isn't angled back when the throttle is at idle speed (no throttle). On my 18 c rotating the position at idle the extra 2 inches forward made a big difference for the ergonomics of the throttle postion in relation to where my seat is located.

    Looks really nice! If you have the width and height of that carbon panel handy I'd be curious to know the dimensions

    It would look ok, but your screws don't all line up. Totally wrecks the whole look.

    Just kidding. Looks fantastic! What wheel are you going with?
