[C320-list] removing interior panel forward of nav station

[Warren Updike]

Nat, several years ago, I finally had enough dealing with removing this
panel. What I did was to split it vertically, add a small wood strip along
the edge, and add two screws through the shelf above.  This allows me to
remove either panel without having to remove the other; and, I don't have to
remove the chain plate strain bar in front of it.  I bought some teak veneer
in a roll to cover the new wood strip.  After varnishing the whole thing
with Target water base varnish, it looks like a factory job.

I will be over at the boat in the next couple of days and if I remember to
take my camera, I'll take some pictures for those interested.

on my 1994: is there a trick to removing panel just forward of the nav
station to flush mount radio, etc. without removing the long wood trim strip
along the front of the shelf that seems to keep it from coming out? Is it
easier to remove the small panel that holds it in at the side?
