Stereo upgrade update... changed the old (wired) Clarion remote on the flybridge for the newer Clarion MW1 (also have a wireless remote connected for more mobile use)... needed to run a new (8-pin) control cable from the unit to the bridge (easy enough), but cutting the new 3" hole in place of the old 2" hole took some creativity (see pics)... in the end I epoxied a batten behind the old hole (creatively held in place overnight with a screw and tape while the epoxy went off), then 2" core drilled some MDF to provide a guide for the auger and screwed it to the temporary batten... then (carefully) core drilled the new 3" hole, removed the batten and installed the new remote... as someone said on this forum... "only hurt for a second" ... glad it's done, though!... just thought I'd post my solution in case anyone now or in future wants to do the same... thought it might help? Cheers!
