I want to mount a fuel flow meter on my lil 16 Cruiser but I'm not sure the only blank space in the tiny dashboard is big enough or the angle will allow the gage's depth to fit.

Rather than cut a 3-1/8" hole and find out it doesn't work I'm considering an instrument pod affixed to the ceiling in the upper right corner, over the windshield. Gage would be visible there.

What I lack is something to mount the gage.

Any small pods around? Could be a bracket, a complete pod isn't needed, this is out of the weather. Local and websearch has been fruitless.

Duplicate post on both C-Dory sites, no need to reply on both.

Thanks,

--Chuck

Chuck, you might try an automotive unit....It'd sure be a lot cheaper and they make some nice ones.

Hi Chuck, I too am going to install a fuel-flow meter(Navman 3100) and do'nt want another hole. I'm going to use a Navpod(pp 31) http://www.a-nautical.com/navpodpowerdoc.htm . About $100.00 on the net. good luck, Pete
