as one becomes involved in a project on a donzi classic they will find that they become a student of the model. Picking up knowledge, factoids and trivial repository.
here is a look at the dashes that they used on the Bench Seat Hornet.
1.the arched panel used on the pre 68 models it was also used on the 16 and corsican. this panel often came with a donzi blank gauge. it only had one large opening for the tach 4 small openings usually amp oil water no fuel or hours the fuel was a site gauge and the hour meter was usually in the bilge. they used the donzi blank gauge which was a blank with the prop logo as the face pretty neat to see one very cool
2. the panel used in 1968 they used this on about 10 boats approx hull 34 to 44 this panel had 2 large openings for tach and speedo and 4 small openings used for water oil amp fuel please note the one pictured was customized to add a hole for the trim gauge this was never needed in a v drive or volvo boat in order to make the plate balanced another hole was added and an hour gauge installed . pizazz hull 40 would have this plate but with only two holes on each side of the larger holes
3. the later plate used after 1968 this the hornet from the beginning of this thread hull 47
the windshield can be removed by anyone who knows how to use a screwdriver and pliers then take the lexi panels to a glass place they should be able to cut it for you if you feel you are not up to it.
I personally hate the windshield on the Hornet I removed mine and kept it for the next owner.
