That is similar to what I did.  However: 1) I had two instruments oriented 
vertically on each side of the companionway, so I used one rectangular piece of 
starboard for both replacement instruments on each side; 2) I filled in the 
large holes behind the Starboard as I described in my prior e-mail note; and 3) 
I discovered that sea foam Starboard is very close to the color of my deck gel 
coat, so I plan to replace my white starboard pieces with sea foam pieces one 
of these days.  Relatively low on the priority list.

Touche' had LARGE instruments when I bought it.  I think they were Kenyons.  
Anyway, I hate to admit it but I just covered the holes with StarBoard 
sandwiches and mounted the new instruments in the StarBoard.  See:

Yeah, I know, kinda bad for a guy who did fiberglass and gelcoat repairs on 
everybody else's boat.  Just never got around to filling the holes.  Mostly 
because matching the headliner would be a pain.
