Round Sony remote replacement

Post by Brokentoy1 »

What’s the best solution for this? The mounting hole is obnoxiously large and a pain in the ass to work with. I am attempting to make an adapter plate for it.

The cheapest would be to make a stainless steel backing plate, affix the new fusion remote it and use 3M tape or epoxy to glue the plate to the boat.

We made a placeholder just to cover up the hole and test for function with getting the radio working. We got the laser cutter going last night for the finished product.

Very nice.

What did you use as a source file for the Cobalt logo? I have a small cnc mill and have been wanting to do some custom engraving using the Cobalt logo.

I read most posts just to see what's going on.
Good thread: informative, interesting, good detail.
Yet my only comment: Kid Rock.

That's awesome. Is that plastic or what did you use? A utube vid would be awesome.
