There is no cover on the one I recently purchased and looking for ideas. Tried looking through pictures on this site and online, but could not find any that clearly shows this area of the boat. The boat is a 1987 18' Outrage.

You can download a measured drawing from the downloads section here. https://www.whalercentral.com/downloa...owstart=15 Double check the opening measurements against the drawing measurements before fabrication. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

For general information, the sump covers on all of the 70' and 80's boats, Montauks and Outrages, were made from the 3/8" material. !/2" material is too thick and sits above the boat floor level.
