1st Project - Helm Upgrade


I have a bad ignition and several other switches & guages that are failing. I plan to replace all of them with better quality switches & guages that are backlit and built to last . I like rocker switches but good quality toggles have some nostalgia value . Just looking for advice from anyone that has done this . The wiring harnesses look good but the additions and changes over the years are a mess. Why do mfg not give you a serivice loop so you have room on the harness to actully work on it. I will go back to the main connectors on the harness and create one that covers everything and leaves some slack .

I am thiking that I will just get a local machine shop to cut new backpanels -

1. Any suggestions on material ? Stainless , Starboard or other ?
2. Are the ignitiion switches just universal 3 position marine ?
3. Any reccomendations on shifters & throttles ?
4. Electrical connection suggestions - Crimp on switches Amphenol on harnesses?

Thanks so much ! So far I am loving this boat !

Chris
