I'd like to get a stainless plate made to go under the steering wheel, and house gauges and switches.
My boat is getting a new engine on, and I dont have it.
Does someone have (or could someone take) the measurements of the whole rectangle and size and location of the mounting screwholes please?
I would like the plate to replace the 2 black metals and 1 center vinyl one, as seen in the below picture from Phil's personal page. (Tried to attach)

Thank you!

OK, i found the drawing of the plates in the downloads section (Thanks Joe K). Now all I need to know is the distance between the plates, or the distance between the inner mounting holes.. Also does anyone see any reason 1 full plate, instead of 2 with vinyl between, wouldnt work?

Thanks!

One plate has been done by a handful of owners with success.

I look at it as personal preference.
