HAS ANYONE TAKEN THE REAR HATCH(ON A 265) AND PUT A PIANO HINDGE ON TO MAKE THE WHOLE STERN BELOW DECK EASIER TO GET TO IF SO PLEASE CONTACT CONDORRP@COMCAST.NET
There is a current topic going on in the Tips forum. It was posted by eppem and although he did not use a piano hinge, it was professionally done and he posted some great pictures.
I was able to find a sheet of rubber that I cut to size.The place had several different size and thickness. GW used small rubber strips that was used to elevate the hatch to make it even with the deck. The piece I used made for a perfect fit and raised the hatch perfectly level with the rest of the floor.
