Winter has been a rather mild one with plenty of Pineapple express systems roaring by.
Parts have been sought and received for the project here.CPT Jim sent gauges,console rod holders from Gary and Bow Eyes from Yorick in the Netherlands.
The Igloo cooler 94 was located and MILLS cushions were ordered from Harry and Lois.
Bow locker questions remains to be solved.
In regard to the front anchor locker question
Upon prepping my unit for resurfacing
I had to remove two stainless coil springs that were attached to each sides within the recess.
And then when I did inspect a 1972 Whaler 19 as a prospect for purchase
I did view a type of locking mechanism involving said springs into making both doors to stay into an open position when being "locked".
If unable to locate these parts I will have to fabricate a "system" to meet my needs.
Until later.
