Wind deflector questions....
 

Got a few questions to ask you AT experts.....

Can someone tell me how high the wind defector sticks up past the fairing??

Can I use plexiglass for this??, How does that front cushion come off the fairing(97 tantrum)???

Thanks, still love the wind but its not staying warm up here for very long:rolleyes:

I'm not sure about the plexiglass.....but if you get in between the stitching on the pad you can get to the screws. At least thats what Brian said....:D

I'm pretty sure there made out of Lexan.

I had mine made at a local shop they made mine out of 1/4 in lexan for about $60.00. I can get you some measurements later today. They really are nice on the boat when cruising.

I made a set from cutting boards I purchased at Walmart with nice stainless hinges and white screw covers for about 15.00.

Thanks for the advice, where can I get lexan from? hardware store? like the look of it mounted under the cushion and across the whole fairing. Too many bugs pelting me and my cheeks are getting to fat and hurt when they start flappin...:D

WHAT???????? :eek: :eek: :eek: CUTTING BOARDS????
All I can ask is WHY???

I wanted the flip up design and wanted them to fit with in the size of the emboss's of the wind screen. I needed white and they had to be unbreakable.
They look better than any I have seen on the market and work perfectly for keeping bugs and wind out of my face.
They fold and snap down for idle speed and clean up great.
I have to many friends that have broke the Lexan / plastic style.

soooo..... can anyone tell me how high the deflector sticks up past the fairing??, going back to the lake tommorrow evening
guessing about 1 1/2" to 2"
Thanks

more like 3 inches

Thanks, Spend all them winnings yet.....:drink:

Also; don't forget to alter your cockpit cover....you also may want to get some pipe insulation to slide over the lexan to protect the cover.

Bills, bills & more f***in' bills!! We are in a CRUNCH with a 850k house I built so it's GONE!! But it was exciting!

Didn't think of that, the cover has seen better days should be getting a new full cover very soon...:D

Guys around here buy Lexan at locat glass shops.
On the 28' the dash pad is held on with screws hidden under trim sleeves at the ends and on either side of the bends of the fairing. Height depends on the boats running attitude. Start at three inches above and raise or lower it if needed.
