Hi I am new to this site and based in Queensland Australia and wondered if it is possible to purchase a complete dashboard for my Bayliner 175 Capri 2004 model. Ideally I would like it with the gauges but if that is too expensive just the dash and I will swap the gauges. Ant idea where I can get one, how much and if they will post to Oz. Thanks

Here are a couple of photos of the damage and the type of dash I am after, just want to know where I can purchase one of these at a reasonable price as I assume Bayliner will charge a fortune.

If you cannot find a replacement and you are trying to keep the stenciled signage then you can do 1 of 2 things. Carefully tape off the lettering and sand the rest down. Prime it and find the closest color match that you can. The color around the lettering will blend in after some Aussie sun hits it for a season...Or you can use the old one as a template, and hit up a Arts and Craft store for some stenciling materials and do your own thing.

Thanks, I think I will do as advised on this and another thread and powder coat or paint it when I take it off. I only put the thread here as well because someone suggested I ask the Bayliner forum the question, now I have the answer will probably delete this one later.

Well I got the new dials sent over from the States to Oz before Christmas and painted the dash as recommended. Now I just have to put it back later today.
