Hi All, scored a nice 87 Cuddy this weekend! Need a few parts;
* 1 bait box
* arm rest/cushion for both starboard and port sides
* rear bench seat (of course)
The bait bins have always been easy to break and hard to find. I thought somebody found a small plastic bathroom trash can at walmart/kmart/dollar general that would fit and work.
Maybe tupperware piece?
I have two bins but not sure if I might use them again. They are currently out because I mounted flush rod holders pointing out 90 degrees to centerline and they prevent the bins from fitting.
I find the bins are not a great use of that space.
One of my daydream configurations is to glass over those lids & bins and mount rodholders/downriggers there. Then cut in access hatches in the bulkheads like the V21s have.
That would allow more use of all that space and easier access to drain fittings.
If I ever do this project I will have two bins and two hatch lids to post here...
I don't think there is a source for the oem part. Just have to find a "will fit". Somebody was going to make a mold from an existing one and make fiberglass replacements, but never heard anymore about that.
These all look like the same link, but they are all to different discussions of the "bins", Lumberslinger is the one who found a Rubbermaid bathroom trashcan that fit his dually perfectly.
