Default Re: Accordian type /folding Splash well

when i got my 18 it had a 6 inch tall piece of grimy plywood as a splashwell. i took a piece of marine plywood, cut it to fit across the whole front of the splashwell cutout, then used a jigsaw to cut a notch out of the middle area for the cowling when motor is tilted up. using a cd or even a sanding disc to trace prtions of a circle for rounded edges works well. curving all the edges and sanding a bunch made it noce and smooth. 8 layers of spar urethane and shes going strong two years later. to make one "accordion style", just cut the piece of wood (marine ply or you could use trimmed down 1x12 probably) to fit, then rip it in half and use a piano hinge down the middle. then get four of those little disc closer things (im sure theres a name) or barrel bolts and mount them on the sides, top and bottom. and away you go...i can send you a picture by email, havent figured out how to post on here yet.
