If you wish to be more up-to-date,



Well, for what it's worth, I bought the boat today, so this project is a
go.

I think the annunciator question resolved itself as being impractical as I
had envisioned it. So it will probably just be a seperate panel with a
stack of back-lit blocks placed through the panel.

As for the rest; switch labels, panel legends, etc, I remember seeing some
translucent white in the scrap box at the Plastic Shoppe. I'll get some
small pieces and of that and some clear Lexan and start experimenting with
them.

Thanks,


Richard

And today, Richard, that is a bright flash of envy

I have an entire "navy" in the back-yard (the largest powered vessel is
15 feet in length. the next is 14, and the dinghy is a 10foor jon-boat)
because, sometimes ya just gotta fish certain waters in a certain way.
