Interior / Attaching side panels
« on: February 01, 2016, 04:35:03 PM »
Going to be doing my interior soon. I am adding some small side panels to cover up my tanks and transom. I need to build the panels for the upholstery guy, but before I start I wanted to see what options I have for attaching the panels to the gunnel. I have seen guys screw them in with beauty rings or have bolts stick out from behind and go through the gunnel with a nut.

In my dads old boat he had a clip that slide behind the gunnel. Kind of looked like a large aluminum money clip.

Any other ideas?  Pics would help too

Thanks in advance.

Are stand up/ sit downs allowed on the lake. I didn't notice it mentioned on their website. But then again I wasn't looking.

I'm not interested in them moving to a place where the HOA busts people for dumb things Like leaving you trash cans out 8 hours after the trash truck came. Cuz me or my wife would most likely be dealing with the issues.   I actually thought their dues were reasonable ($245 I think). They pay HOA now so they are use to it. They are really quiet people and keep to themselves but if the HOA is a hassle I'm not interested.

I'll have to suggest another place for them to live. Maybe Elsinore!  Wherever  they move I'm hoping they have room for my trailer and maybe boat. Haha.

Yeah. I don't mind Elsinore for test runs But It is nasty and I don't wanna ski in it and I don't want my kids in it either.


Thanks for the info. I won't push too hard on them moving there now. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

How's the community and HOA?  Is it one of those HOA's that cruises around looking for things to bust people on?

Looking for first hand info on canyon lake. My wife's parents might move there and if I can reap the benefits of the lake then even better.

I saw the following on the website.
-Must get annual boat inspection
-Must have $300k in liability insurance
-Must have the HOA on your insurance
-$40+$240 (for anything over 25 HP) fee
-And there is a noise restriction

So my questions are...am I good with over transom headers that are water cooled with baffles?

Is the lake nice and worth it?

How is the overall community? 

How is the HOA? 

Any first hand info would be appreciated. Thanks

Pretty much what I was thinking GT. but I was gonna do a two step system with some 3/4" sch40 PVC and have a couple hooks on the gunnel. Something like that. Maybe throw some type of hand hold too.

I mentioned switching to a day cruiser but the wife likes our boat (and so do it).

Everyone knows never to touch the pipes or motor even if it been sitting in the garage for 3 months...hands off. As for burnt ski rope not problems there. I have small length of some fire hose i use.  Leaving from shore is no issue. Just when water skiing.

I'll update the thread later when I build the damn thing.

Hey guys.....19' hallett bubble deck with over the transom headers. My wife and kids have a hard time getting in the boat from deep water. The kids are easy...I just yank them up. The wife is a little different. She doesn't have the upper body strength to push herself up. I was thinking of making a rope step that hooks on the underside of the gunnel.

Before I go out and reinvent the wheel, what is everyone else doing? 

Thanks in advance.

Cool. I've been looking at various connectors. I was wondering if anyone had experience in that particular wire. There is a lot of options out there.

When I do it this winter I'll do a tutorial on how I do it for future reference.

What are your guys thoughts on the west marine 8 wire looms? 
 I was thinking of using it to go from the fuse panel to the dash. And whatever else. You can get it in multiple gauges and its ~$2.00 a foot. Might be nice for accessories and gauges. Easy and clean.

I've been going there forever. My dad started going there in the 50's or 60's. We usually go mid week and try to stay away from the weekends there. We will be at echo towards the end of sept for a week.

I really don't want to have to wet sand it as I don't see me keeping this hull after this season but "Plum Crazy" has to go. I will get some oven cleaner tomorrow and see how it works out.

I just did this last night with a smaller piece. I've read threads about easy off oven cleaner....I had some under the sink...and a few beers on board so I decided to try it....  Turned out great, but you have to acted fast. I masked the area off...sprayed lightly over the area....walked into the kitchen to get a beer...came back about 45 sec later and scrapped with a plastic putty knife and immediately washed it off several times.   

I am getting the boat wet sanded professionally this week which is one reason I did it.  I am not saying this is the right way, just sharing my experience.

Like Joel said...the first three numbers of your hull numbers are the Manufacturer Identification Code (MIC). you can run those thru the coast guard website and it will tell you the manufacturer.

Alright so it looks like I'll have to have it painted then. Bummer. I was hoping there was a DYI way to do it.

Thanks for the offer. I'll hit you up when I'm ready.

Got this patch job (I think) on my boat. It completely bugs me. It's nice and flush, but the color is off. Anything I could do to match the area or is this a job for the professionals?
