New position for the instruments

[rirvine]

Like most Catalinas, my instruments are mounted on the pedestal guard where neither the driver nor the crew can see them.  I am looking to move them forward to the top of the cabin at the front edge of the companionway â€" so they can be seen by all.    Does anybody have any experience in doing this project?  If so what were the major problems and how were they solved?   As I see it the most puzzling problem is how and where it run the wires so they are protected and not in the way.

Thank you, Ray

Hi Ray & Patti,
What prevents you from seeing the instruments?

Ken:

I usually sit well down on the leeward side to drive.  Although they have a very good angle of view, it is not easy to read them from about 80 degrees.
