I think they are made or distributed by Southco. Best pricing I have gotten on Southco stuff is from boat manufacturers. I needed some Southco stuff for a Cape Horn and called them and they said they can sell it and ship it. Owner chose to change hinges out rather than pay the price.

I think it is spelled DZUS. Check this out: http://www.southco.com/landingpages/dzus/

Let me know if you find out anything better.

Thanks Mick. Papa was far more well versed in ancient civilizations than I.

Anyone have good prices for flush mount Zeus fasteners?

I've been debating whether or not to cut the well out completely. I may as well if it's not going to be used. Too bad I didn't do that before I mounted my Airmar thruhull ducer closer to the transom. Forward of the bait well would've been more ideal for the ducer.

I pulled the fiberglass cutout top off the bait well and cleaned everything up as best I could. I'm going to cut the well out when I get home. :D

Thanks,
Paul

Think before you jump. Maybe I could have put pie plates in and saved it.

Maybe I could have thought about a less intrusive solution.

Pie plates?

Yeah. Pie plates? Huh? :D

I decided not to cut the well out. I cleaned eveything up, siliconed the dooky out of it and called it a day.

one year I plugged my live well from the outside and my cockpit would no drain due to lack of pitck with the extra floatation 1978 scepter

I've got a drain plug on the outside of my bait well, which isn't air tight. But maybe I should give that a try. Even with a Gil bracket, my ride is a little ass heavy.

Come to think of it, would there be a floatation benefit, from sealing the bait well, if only it were submerged?

Thanks,
Paul
