[emarrero]

Just bought this 1998 4000 Express and one of the first items of business is to get the Captain's lair more up to snuff. The off-center chart plotter was driving me nuts and there were stickers all over the place.

   

• Ordered new switch covers, prying off the old ones, and popping brand new ones on.
  
• Fired up the old computer, researched all the stuff I wanted to add & move.
  
• Downloaded  the cutout templates for all the stuff.
  
• Drew it up on frontpanelexpress.com.
  

   

• 5 business days later:
  

   

• Carefully removed all the old stuff, some of which will be kept for the season
  
• Started cutting with one of those vibrating-toothy tools 
  

   

• Bolted all the new stuff in, et voila
  

   

I didn't upgrade the chart plotter but I did cleverly leave enough room for a 16" in case Santa is reading this post

You'll notice the little colored dots in the corners and center-bottom. I never remember which horn signal means left & right so I added permanent reminders.

Also I hope the folks at Tiara don't mind my adding their logo to the bottom right corner.
