Need HELP finding a new gauge pod.

[H.R.D]

Well I have searched and searched with no luck. I am looking for a new gauge pod to mount our gauges on a center console pontoon. We went to the lake this past weekend and hit some bad weather on the way up which killed our gauge pod and ripped our boat cover. I have included some pics to help you help me. Any links that you can come up with please post.

Thanks,
Jerrod

Geezus man, what kind of bad weather? A tornado? I have a feeling you may be hard pressed to find an exact replacement, I feel pretty confident that everyone is going to say keep an eye out on the normal channels for used stuff, ebay, craigslist, classifieds etc. etc. etc.... But! You could always build one yourself that would be much cooler than original! Just cutout some cardboard to the required shape and tolerances, cover it in resin and fiberglass, someone just did this here on iboats and it turned out absolutely awesome looking, and didnt appear too terribly difficult... Good luck!

Matter of fact, you could pull the old one off, coat it in vaseline, and put the resin and glass over it using it as a mold... That would probably be the easiest way to do it... And if you decide to go this route, we want pics! A fun project that might take a day to do...

Yep it did a number on it tore our new boat cover and ripped a bunch of wires out. The wind here in NM gets ridiculous. Eventually going to have to re upholster the whole console. I was thinking of doing a custom one out of fiber glass or stainless steel. But just wanted to check with the community to see if they had any leads.

An easy way out is to fiberglass the console that you have.
