'98 Outback Transom repair/ restoration

Only takes a few minutes to unbolt and take the fenders off.

They come off?!? Lmao! I can't believe I didn't check to see if they did. That's funny (embarrassing). Now if the guides came off too, I'd be set. I'm sure I can move the boat back a little to get to those areas. Any suggestions on how best to go about that?

Thanks

I don't know about yours, but my guide poles are just pinned in place. I just remove a D ring and they come out. Yours might be different

Few more crappy shots of the tower. I'll have to get the gf to drive it out so I can get some better pictures.

I checked. Mine are welded on so no removing them. I think I've figured out a way to back it off the trailer 6" and I'll be good. But thanks for the suggestion.

Wow, great look. I copied all your pics a while back in case I upgrade mine. The tower is so much better than the stock one. Was the dash made from a mold of your old one? I like the new gauges. I have to say that my fiberglas is holding up real well with the metal-flake finish and all. Some people think it is a newer boat.

The dash I bought from GLS. I wanted newer, better looking gauges and rocker switches instead of the turn knobs. After pricing everything individually, it made more sense to go with that entire gauge/switch package with all wiring as well. GLS only pictures the gauges and switches. It was only when I received it that I found it was the entire dash. I think it's out of a '03ish boat if I'm not mistaken.

I thought about cutting mine out and making the new one fit in there for about 3 mins, and then figured it would be too much trouble and time. So I decided to just do something with my original panels. The original stuff had that fake, crappy carbon fiber sticker type deal on it...so I decided to just make new carbon fiber pieces using the old parts as to make molds..
