Finally, it's March! I hope the weather starts to get better. There is still ice on the bay but my creek is just about free. I got the parts from Marinepartsdepot.com Took about a month but it was worth it. The parts that I used could have been had from West Marine. They wanted $65 per hinge. The online store had them for 15 bucks each and they were the same ones. Along with the hinge I got two barrel bolts to hold the motor cover on. They also offered free shipping and knocked another 20% off.
Good deal all around.
They also fit and did the job!
I also refinished the motor cover. I skinned the original with 3 mil Ocume. I'll varnish everything when I can get outside.
Now you need a nice Persian rug for the cockpit sole!
ReplyDeleteActually, I am looking for a rug for the sole. Smart ass....
ReplyDeleteI read you like a book!
DeleteHi from New Zealand : > ) . The ladder will look real good when its all varnished up. Restorations are a satisfying pastime - keep it up - I'll keep looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Alden. Varnish is next week. Yes, this has been a great project.
