Refresh to Dash Project

by argonaut » 12 May 2026, 11:48

I have a Four Winns H210 …. and have never been happy with the dash.
There was a sunglasses tray in the centre, and no dedicated depth guage .. and the inbuilt depth gauge on the Rev Counter was too small to be used when underway.

So I added a Depth Trax depth gauge, with adjustable depth alarm … great for waterskiing.
I then added a Zero Off wakeboard speed control in the centre, utilising the sunglasses tray. Achieved by manufacturing a mounting plate and I had that Hydrodipped in Carbon finish.

However the cheap & nasty wood effect did not cover edge of the dash panel, and corrosion set in.
I removed the dash … you can see the corrosion.

Polished it back to plain aluminium

Then had it anti-corrosion treated, and then hydro dipped in graphite finish, and an overall ceramic clear coat.

All assembled it looks to me a lot better than the tatty wood effect.
