Protecting fiberglass engine hatch
How do you guys with fiberglass engine hatches keep them from getting scratched? I'm talking about when you are hanging out, swimming, boarding/unboarding, etc.
I was thinking of getting some of those bathroom type rugs with the rubberized coating on the bottom. Any other ideas? |
Urethane paint protection film. I'm doing the sides and any wear areas with it when I buy my next boat... then again, it doesn't cost me anything. :D
|
I got a couple rubber backed bath rugs from target in red to match the boat. They are 60"x30" roughly and cost about $15. I put them across the back when we are rafted up and it creates a protected, non slip area to walk across. The girls like them to put under their towels when laying on the deck too. I just roll them up and put them in the gunnels or storage when not in use. They work great!

Thanks Guys. I think I will go with the bath rugs. I can throw them in a wash machine or replace when needed.

How do the girls manage to get back on the boat from the water? I don't see a ladder and it looks pretty high. |

Swim platforms, bathrooms and wet bars on them!!!!:drink: I provide the speed, they provide the party platforms!:boat: All joking aside, the only time we swim off my boat is when we are rafted up with friends and the above scenario is true. |
Dave M... The bathroom rugs are a perfect idea....
I see them used all over hatches and bows when I attend poker runs out west.. or just crusing the channel in Havasu.. lots of ppl seem to use em...... |
I use the same thing, two bathroom rugs. I actually have 5 of them on board, put them on the deck in the cockpit, and down the center of the cabin to protect the carpet down there.
