Thumbs up

Very Clean Job Handful
Quote:
The I/O engine compartment floor is easily removed. (I didn't have the skill to do water channels in the hatch - a future project.)

BTW: You can fabricate some water channels very quickly to your existing floor hatch. I made these to mine before my transom enclose.

1.) Cut some 3/4" or 1" PVC Pipe in half on the table saw
2.) Cut to length & glue in some 90* nylon drains to the back corners
3.) Adhere the channels together & then to the inside of your hatch with 2 part epoxy paste.
4.) Connect the 2 drains to a "T" then funnel out to an existing thru hull or to one of the self bails

Use these or the like by cutting off the excess threads after you epoxy them in flush to the back corners of the PVC Channels



Connect them to a "T" then tie them into one of the self bails or too an existing thru hull




Finished & Painted Water Channels

My thanks for the overhead trim ideas and website. That has been something I've been chewing on with no good ideas. My mouse fur is very close to falling down. Guess I should not complain, its only 40 years old.

My Parker has a starboard door, they put an aluminum edge on it to stiffen it up.

You might want to check one out for ideas, thought I had a pic but nothing on this computer.

I'll see if I can snap one but I'm sure there is no shortage of Parker Sport cabins in your area.
