Hey everyone, I am looking for information on how to remove the black acrylic bezel on the dashboard so I can swap out my Simrad units. Doesn’t look like I can gain access from the rear due to a solid wall in the head.

Remove the bezel on the face of the center smartcraft display. Use your finger nail and catch the edge, it's real thin. Once the bezel is removed there are 4 screws.

Remove display and reach inside above each simrad, you will find nut, lock washer and large flat washer. Once these nuts are removed you can lift off the top.

Thank you for the info…
I tackeled it this weekend with great success. Cut out bezels and fiberglass on the dash to accommodate the larger units.
