replacing plastic storage liners

(1/1)

waterwks4me:
Does anyone know where I can find the plastic storage liners for the storage areas under the salon cushions and chart seat?  I have two that have cracked or broken lips.

Dolce_Vita:
I'm pretty sure they're not available.  They're actually fiberglass.

What we need is for someone who's good with fiberglass to pull a mold off of one thats in good shape,
and then layup a few.

waterwks4me:
Yes, that would be a good idea.  I am almost positive that mine are made from molded plastic similar to the plastics used for kayaks, polyethylene.  Never the less, that would be a great idea to use one for a mold making them in fiberglass.  I wonder what other ideas people have used for replacing them.  I am sure wear and tear has taken its toll over 30 years of use at least in my boat's case.

Alma:
I simply pulled mine out and made new lids from tech-ply with white formica laminated tops. You'll get tons more storage
(especially under port-side vee berth). I still use a cut-down bin under my nav-seat. Be sure to make them ALL at once so you can make them match. I glued a 3/8" piece of basic plywood underneath to locate the new hatchcovers in the enlarged lid holes. Use care and a file to square up the existing saw cut holes so the lids fit well. It is a perfect winter project makinf the lids in a home workshop.
