My Cal 34 has an engine control panel in the starbord side of the cockpit. It is old and cracking. Instrument are fine. How do I replace the fiberglass "console". Thanks for your ideas.

I used ABSto replace my old Catalina panel. Online metals has a good selection. I used my CNC router to cut it out but hole saws and drill bits work just as well. I put in all new gauges and switches.

Pictures are a helpful.
You might try patching it by removing the panel. Removing the instruments. Sanding the panel. Applying a layer of fiberglass. Repainting with gel coat. Reinstall.

Or you can do what @LeslieTroyer did. Cut a new panel.
