Title: Splash guard mounting
Post by: evilb on August 03, 2015, 01:10:01 PM
I'm going to have a splash guard cut out of 1/8 inch acrylic for my eliminator bubble. To any of you with splash guards - could you share you mounting techniques? What kind of hardware did you use? Did you slot the holes to account for thermal expansion? What about finishing/ sealing between the plexi and the boat. I keep thinking that a peace of vinyl with piping at the top would look nice and also provide sort of a gasket but then I'd have to get more materials and have it stitched. Any thoughts? Pics would be great too and I'll definitely post some of mine..
