Does your splash board just lift out or is it hinged on the bottom. Can't tell from the picture.
Also, is the starboard trim along the front edges just decrative or is it being used to hold the board from falling into the boat while it seals out water? Dink

I do not see any hardware in the picture containing the slide bolt which the bolt slides into. Did you just drill a hole into the sides of the rear hatch wells and reinforce the hole in some fashion? If so, I like the idea and will attempt to do the same. Dink

No hardware on the door. It just slides in to a slot between the Starboard front pieces and those back side pieces. That's what it looks like to me. It looks nice. i would have added a finger pull slot at the top to make it easy to grab a hold of. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The second picture showing the engine side appears to have what looks like s slide or barrel bolt. Anyway, I've found both a brass and plastic insert that I will epoxy into the splash well sides and insert the barrel bolt into. I'll coat the brass insert with Signature finish urathane. It should blend in well. Dink
