[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 478573, member: 15636"] [b]Floor [/b]- I'd not bother painting one before adding vinyl .... [b]Gunnel[/b] - Damn, it's too bad that gunnel is all chewed up! But, with the screws on top, you should be able to re-cover it and 'may' be easier to add new vinyl over the old. To get around the control box without unhooking everything, layout/affix the vinyl on top and leave a long edge to drop down for the vertical piece. Cut the 'hole' needed for the control box and then cut 1 vertical cut straight up to that hole from the bottom edge ... less likely to be seen once done. Now, for those [u]special SS washers[/u], [b]NOTE there are 2 at each screw, not 1! [/b]This is on purpose, by design, so when you turn the screw, 1 stays tight to the viny, and the other 'spins' if needed, but slides over the other one so as not to tear/twist the vinyl.[i] If you need some[/i] ... just PM me, as I have spares.
