Re: some more work, Non skid , console modification
I am starting work on my '78 20' MA console now and like what Billy did reversing the flange. My console has the cooler/seat in front of the console so reversing the flange would make it impossible to get screws in. Anyone addressed this problem or have an approach for securing the front portion of the console? I could not find any strings addressing it.
I thought if I screwed the back portion down under the console and bedded the front cooler in 5200 with the cooler full of water to keep it bedded until the 5200 set I would probably be OK. Thoughts? THX! DaTNGrizz

Re: some more work, Non skid , console modification
A quick idea. (I don't like 5200. In my opinion, it is used much too often and ends up costing more time and aggravation than it's worth. But I do admit it has its place.)
Consider this. Make a base that is screwed down/permanently attached to the deck where you are going to 5200 the cooler into place. On top of that you can devise a mount or tray for the cooler. Then, the cooler can come on and off as needed or is convenient. You can design it in such a way that it will overlap the flange of the console and not limit you in pulling ot moving the console if you need to. If you decide to change your mind/configuration later, it is only a matter of removing that base (probably a few bolts through the deck.) Just my 2¢.

Re: some more work, Non skid , console modification
THX for the post...The cooler is molded into the console..one continuous piece and forms the seat in front of the console. But your post gave me an idea, perhaps I can screw some stingers/angle into the deck that go between the outside and iside of the cooler's sides and secure it with some screws fromvthe outside.

Re: some more work, Non skid , console modificatio
Followed this over from SFC. That is one beautiful boat. Excellent craftsmanship as well I will be referring back to this when I start my project.
