Man she looks great L308.

You can buy that piece for the transom. It is the hole for the transom shower. The switch next to it turns it on.
It is also missing a rubber flap that covers the hole. It has been torn off from that top screw.
Look inside your engine compartment for a semi clear hose with a small shower type head on it. It gets pushed in there.

You can temporarily shine that white piece up with some magic eraser.

Interesting. I had no idea that was for the transom shower. I had someone ask me if I had a transom shower head awhile back and no clue what they were talking about. So what would someone use the transom shower head for anyways?

We use it rarely. It’s more of a saltwater thing to rinse off with freshwater.
Occasionally we will use it if someone wants to warm up if the lake water is cold. The water is naturally heated in the storage area on the port side of the engine compartment.

AsLan7, here is a link to my video part 1 of taking out the dash and how it is done, what I have experienced for part 1 . The part 2 will be how to reinstall new dash. Maybe might want to make a header for this link so others can see how it’s done. https://youtu.be/K3fO1vHNo2E

First time doing this so hope it’s ok and others can learn from my dash swap out. I could not find a video for this specific topic online. Enjoy

Great stuff L308. Thank you for posting that vid for folks.
I edited your post slightly copying your YouTube link letters and numbers K3fO1vHNo2E and put them between the [youtube][/youtube] brackets. That way the video shows on the site without having to navigate off the forum.

Looking forward to part 2...the finished product!

As Lan, part 2 tomorrow. I hope.

Video coming soon of part 2. It was interesting to watch the mechanic remove certain items on the boat to access hidden areas of where the screws held the wood parts. Total time to have the swap out was 6 hours. Cost of labor was $500. I would highly recommend getting someone that has boat/auto electrical experience. I’m pretty savvy but this would have been extremely difficult for me. The boat looks factory brand new with wood replacement. Definitely worth the money, and my wife is happy.

Very cool. Sounds like a bargin.
