05 SV1900 Console Clean up

[bftmaster]

While adding a new Garmin 93sv Echomap UHD to my console, I removed the stock compass (may be a bad thing and regret one day, but I figured I have three other independent options on board) and it took up to much space and made the dash look outdated. I added to the dash EVA foam (ebay version) to hide all the other holes from previous owners electronics and compass as well as a place to lay something without it sliding after someone walks to other side of boat. I also took some the EVA and lined my glovebox and installed a 2-port usb charger with voltage meter at the back. Lastly, I made a helm pad with EVA. The pad is really nice and is a significate upgrade. Still have lots of EVA left over. Not bad for around $3 per sqft.

That looks good! Where did you find the EVA material? Compasses are old school, I should remove mine too since I haven't looked at it for direction in years. I put a USB charger with voltage display on the console so I could run a cable from it easily but I like the lined glovebox idea.

Note: Lay a piece of 3/4 plywood or something on top of this material for a day or two before working it to get the curling from being shipped in a roll flattened out.
