Dash Pod ABS Black

The Dash Pod ABS Black gauge mounting panel from TRUE PERFORMANCE & FABRICATION is a customizable dashboard instrument platform engineered for marine applications. This uncut ABS plastic panel provides a blank canvas for installing gauges, switches, and auxiliary controls on your vessel's helm, allowing full flexibility in instrument layout and configuration to match your specific boating needs.

Measuring 12 x 6.5 x 18 inches and weighing 1.83 lbs, this dash pod provides ample mounting surface while remaining lightweight enough for easy installation without structural stress. The ABS construction offers excellent resistance to UV exposure, saltwater spray, and temperature fluctuations—critical durability factors for coastal and offshore environments where marine-grade materials must withstand harsh conditions. ABS plastic maintains rigidity in marine environments while remaining resistant to corrosion and degradation that aluminum or fiberglass alternatives may experience in salt air.

This panel is ideal for boat builders, retrofit specialists, and serious anglers who demand custom instrument configurations. Whether you're integrating modern GPS chartplotters, speed indicators, temperature monitors, or traditional analog gauges, the uncut design accommodates your exact specifications. Fishermen upgrading older vessels or building new center consoles benefit from the ability to design a control layout optimized for their specific fishing style—from shallow-water shallow-draft poling setups to offshore tournament rigging.

The black finish complements modern helm styling while providing a professional appearance that looks at home on both recreational cruisers and working fishing vessels. Proper mounting and sealing around any cutouts ensures longevity in marine service. Part number DTR5001 is recognized in the aftermarket and restoration community as a reliable foundation for custom dash configurations.
