Or if you not interested in upgrading, you can have my gauge and brain for a backup for $100, and I am in Lehi

Stan how do you like your tinted windshield? Is it hard to see out of when you set down?

Yt that's a pretty light tint. I wanted to do mine but after my last 220 no way. Really to do it right the windshield has to come off and the Windows come out to get under the seals. Unlike car Windows nothing is straight on boat moldings. I'm not sure if yours is curved as much as mine and as low as mine but it's a beach to get done properly. And I'm not taking my windshield off for someone to break it. Sorry but my last boat looked like Crap and the person does a ton of cars. Nut worth the hassle to me anymore.

No no, I don't want to do it. I was just wondering how Stan likes it and if it's hard to see out.

Oh sorry. I love the look of it from 20 ft away. I never look through the windshield so I guess it wouldn't matter to me. I use three boat cushions on bolster seat so I get above the windshield :-)

Well, I guess boat cushions are better than phone books! 😁

I'm tall and I sit on the bolster so I see over it. That said, I love tint and would have tinted it if it wasn't already on. The one day I've had it out, it reduced the refection off the waves a decent amount.

I'm sure at twilight it might be a bit dark, but i'm not worried. I run 80% blockage on my car and it doesn't bother me at night, granted that isn't the windshield.
