    Deck access plates

    I replaced my lids with the screw on type and am much happier. They leak much less than the pop outs.

    Bang plate round 2

    I had it fabbed up when I put on my new motor. Fiberglassing the gap as mentioned above is the way to go.

    Bang plate round 2

    I used a stainless steel bang plate. I filled the gap with epoxy, in hindsight, I wish I would have fiberglassed over the gap. 1996 Adventure 208.

    What does this screw do?

    Yep, not a good design. Hookup, I was told that is a zerk fitting for a pivot tube and should be fixed. I am thinking mine broke off using the wedge (same one in above pic) or cleaning the boat. I'll need to be more careful when cleaning up and leaving the ramp - make sure the wedge is on...

    New Sounder / gps planing for 232 gulf steam

    What about the space above the steering wheel, the flip up glove box. You could close that area up and mount at the approp angle. I may do that in the future on my boat, lots of folks have done that on this site (mult models).

    Re-wiring a boat?

    Hi all - I agree with seasick, my dad was a mechanic for 40 years and he always told me, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". That said, it did replace all fuse panels, bus bars etc when I freshened up my dash this year. All connectors etc were replaced, but I did not replace any wire runs.
