My radio enclosure, original equipment, has seen better days and i would like to replace it with a like kind. The issue i am having is finding one. There is limited clearance between the steering wheel and the dash, so one with a flip lid wont work. The hole that is cut in the dash is larger than the enclosures I have found. The attached pics show one that is identical to what i am needing.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can find one? I have looked at iboats, west marine, overtons, etc.. and cant locate one.

First of all, what it wrong with yours presently? And can it be repaired? If it is merely in need of a new seal or something like that, you could find some type replacement part. Just an idea. :noidea:

GM,

The screw holes have all cracked. I have put some trim washers on it to give the screws something to hold. The new ones dont fill the hole that was cut in the dash by Sea Ray. I havent been able to find a match. With the limited clearance that i have, it has to have a cover that slides in on itself. The ones with a hinged that flip up or down hit the steering wheel.

Worst case, I cut a new piece of wood, and recover the padded dash. Put the radio in a new location. I was just trying to maintain the OEM look
