Now, back to the panel

Holy crap, it's time to start cutting holes in the panel and I don't know what I'm doing. I got some typing paper and cut out templates of all the components that I want in my panel. (Sorry, no picture of this). I laid the paper templates out and determined the center most component, which will be the Garmin 696 Air Gizmo Panel Dock. I marked where the mount goes on one corner on the panel with a fine point sharpie. Then I put some painters tape on the panel to protect the surface from the jigsaw I will use. I could see the sharpie mark through the tape and drew the lines for the cutout onto the tape. Then I carefully cut the panel right up next to the marks I made without cutting into the marks.
