The top one is the new wheel. The bottom one with the wood grain is the older one. I’ll sell it if someone wants it. It’s in good shape. The back side of the wheel on the wood grain could use some TLC, but otherwise good to go

When I lay my Bimini back, it rubs on one spot on the gunwale. I’ve got a scratch on both sides that I noticed this spring and am too tight to have it fixed and figure I’ll probably scratch again. So, I drew up the Cobalt C in Cad minus the wreath and 3D printed my design. Turned out decent, still need sanding and finish. What do you think? If anyone knows of someone that could fab this out of stainless, I’d probably shell out for a few.

That's nice. Why didn't you do the wreath. What's it made out of. Then 2 sided tape?

The main reason was that the resolution of my printer loses the detail at this size. I ran a test and decided to maximize the size of the C and lose the wreath as a compromise. But yes, once I clean it up some good ol 3m 2 sided tape and apply it:-)

Looks great! And with the 3M reference, spoken like a true Minnesotan! (I retired from 3M last year) :D

Too many to list, but the main ones/most visible are new dash panels with chart plotter, push-button switches and relay panel, and GPS speedometer. Also new Fusion head unit, JL amp and speakers, with NMEA2000 control from chart plotter, and NMEA2000 engine gateway to monitor engines on chartplotter.

Installed one. I really think the quality is pretty outstanding on this Samson typhoon rack. 1 billion times better than my old aftermarket one
