1998 Trophy 2002 WA Dash Panel

[davidgussy1]

I have a 1998 2002 WA and I need a new dash panel. I have a Force engine and all the guages work. The reason I want to replace the panel is because it's in need of painting and I cannot read the wording for the toggle switches. I don't want to place stickers or tape for the wording as I would like to keep my Trophy as original as possible. I have checked ebay and some other web sites but no one has what I need.
Thanks, and any help would be appreciated.

To reduce the damage to the panel, consider putting a canvas cover over the dash. My boat had a cover, which was lost at some point. I learned that I was getting water intrusion through the gauges, into the boat. So, I sealed up the gauges and made up a new cover.

West Marine has nice looking plastic switch labels. I think they're put on with tiny screws. You might consider that if Greatlakeskipper doesn't have your switch panel.

Thanks for all of the info. Greatlakeskipper doesn't have my model number. I'll try West Marine for the labels if I cant find a dash panel. I really want to keep my Trophy as close to original as possible.

This past weekend, I took a $2 piece of dash plastic. (stippled on one side), cut it to fit, drilled the instrument holes and the screw holes. It took 3 leisurely hours, but I think it came out Okay. If you don't want to buy the hole saws, you can use a router to cut the holes.
