Engine panel housing

Post by Mike White »

I have a CD30 Cutter w/Universal 14hp. The engine instrument panel is in the starboard cockpit side aft. The instrument panel is in a plastic(?) housing set into the side of the cockpit. From numerous removals and replacements (I assume by prior owners) the housing is cracked and needs repalcement. Any help on where replacements can be found?

I used a two part epoxy to repair my old one on our CD 27. I eventually
made a new one out of a piece of 1/2" teak and used 3M 5200 sealant
to secure it to the boat. I used the old one as a template to drill the
holes in the teak. Yanmar doesn't make the panel anymore, but you may
want to check with Universal. Good luck!

I also have a Cape Dory 30 Cutter with Universal 14hp, mine is 1984. I have not had to replace mine, but I am fairly sure you should be able to buy one at a larger Universal Dealers./CAS
