The pictures now work fine for me. (had the same problems as others with the ones in the first post). If you are thinking of using the aluminium 'boiler plate', then yes, reflection is going to be a real issue. One flash of the sun into your eyes and you'll not be seeing for a good 20 seconds. Enough time to run over someone in the water
I would think you need something with a matt or satin finish. I've seen quite a lot of Mercruiser 're-powers' that have had the older instrument panel removed (as Merc don't make the panel any longer, and the new gauges 'don't fit'... They do, but that's for another thread
)... The new Merc gauges are loose, meaning that owners of boats that had the old panel need to fill a LARGE hole. Most take a big piece of malomite, or something similar, with a matt white finish, and cover the whole hole with it, then drill the required 2" and 3-3/4" holes.... Works a treat and looks very 'modern'. I still prefer the old panel, and that's why I made my new gauges fit... :evil:
