Hinge for 382 power panel
 

Not sure how this happened but we must have not had the power panel door latched at some point when we were out yesterday. Who would of thought that no doing so would cause the top hinge to break from the stress of a tiny plexigalss door. LOL :D :D

Who makes this part and where to get two?

Best bet would be to contact Formula tech support. I'm sure they would either sell you one or inform you as to who makes them.

I'll bet that they just tell him that a boat is not an anvil... :lolhit:

Nort why not just have it welded back up?

Seriously? For a $2.00 hinge? Did you have to do that to your Droid? :)

Yes......do not operate in ocean. :D

I guess I will.......I was hoping for the wiz bang Formula techs in here! :evilb::evilb:

I texted wiz and pm'd Bang...Neither responded due to the non tech nature of this hinge-e issue. are the questionable hinges stamped perko? If so west marine, if not formula direct

Nothing......nada.......zilch. Thanks for noticing that belt on Saturday!!!!! You also fixed in less than 35 seconds too! Still not sure "why" that happened. It never has before.

Nort - I've got the whole frickin' door. It's yours for the cost of shipping...

Okay I'll take it. Did you do a new one when you did the new TV install?

Nort,
Yes; I went to solid 1/2" plexi and a piano hinge for the door when I fitted the flat screen. E-mail your address to me...

Okay.....that is slightly overkill, but it's probably the piece you cut out from the new panel so that makes sense. I still have this project to do so I will take your part for now! PM on the way.

Thanks!

Thanks for sending Chuck!

Got the box yesterday. Thanks Chuck. After looking at your hinges, and looking at mine, I now realize that this is a modified part by Formula. You can see in the picture at the top. The right side of the hinges must be longer and cut off, then someone hand drills the two holes. The holes in your hinges are about a half a hole off from mine. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet.

It will not look as neat, but you could elongate the hole and use a panhead screw with a button cap over it.

Or, can you just fill the hole on the boat with some MarineTex and redrill in the right location? If so, I'd suggest doing it with through bolts if possible. The hinge itself should cover the fill spot so you would not have to get it perfect cosmetically.

No sweat, Nort. Sydwayz's suggestions make sense...

Nort! Suuuuupppperrr Gllluuuee
