I have a 1991 Johnson 90 HP motor. My boat is a 1988 Blue Fin Sportsman. 17 foot. Aluminum. I mounted my motor and its running good. The controls with the motor are the type you usually mount down in the dash. Well my dash is full and no where to mount them. The old controls were wall/side mount controls. Any ideas how to mount the dash mount controls to my wall. Pictures would be helpful. I was unsure if any of you had done this before. Any help is appreciated.

I did see one mounted on the side once,tucked in the corner by the dash. Boxed in down where the cables run. It was kind of akward to use. I'd go with bondos advice myself.
