Cabin door is broken!
 

It appears that a bolt fell out on the cabin door. Of course it's on the left side--where it slides into the boat. Has anyone had to mess with or repair that door? It looks like a major pain and project. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!:drink:

What model do you have?

I have a 27 Pachanga with a single

It looks like I'm going to roll the dice and take it apart next week. Hopefully, I can get it back together.

Did you ever figure this out? my project 32 has the same issue

Keep us posted I would like to take mine out and tint it. It's a little too clear for using the porti poti. Why Sea Ray didnt make it darker is beyond me.

Me too:drink:

And no kidding, hard to use the potty when you have to hold a towel up.:eek:

The good news is that I did fix the door. The bad news is that it was far from easy. Sea Ray built the door with theives in mind and the only way to get to everything is to take the cabin interior out. We were able to get around this by cutting two pieces in the door frame. I will take pictures soon. If you are just considering tinting it, could you apply the tint with the door in the boat? If possible, I believe this would be much easier.

Good advice Im not cutting nothing!

:angry-smiley-038:I started disassembling to get to the door ( I had most of the interior out already ) and SeaRay built the boat around the door, I'll post some pics

Yeah, I surely wouldn't cut anything if you didn't have to. My door was out of the frame on the side that you can't get to. I really didn't have much choice - it was either leave it screwed up and half in the frame or cut the frame and fix it. The door wouldn't close right and I was afraid that sooner or later the whole thing would break.

Do you have a pics of the work?

I will get pics today - didn't have a chance yesterday. It doesn't look as bad as it sounds. I wasn't thriled about having to do it.

Pics
 

Here are the pics -

The first pic is of the top piece that was cut as close as possible to the interior on the starboard side.
The one underneath is of the bottom left frame that was cut.
The other two are of the "minor" damage done to the interior.
The top piece was cut and removed to get the door out. The door is surprisingly flexible when out of one side of the framing. This helped when taking it out, making it easier than putting the fixed door back in. The bottom frame was cut in order to get the door back in. This whole side of the outside frame was removed to put the door back in. The interior was clipped putting the door back in. After the door was finally placed in, we resealed the frame and screwed it back in.

I hope this helps. All of the framing needs painted - this was not done while trying to get the door fixed.

:angry-smiley-038: Well I did it, I disassemled untill I got the door and frame out, I'll post some pics soon ( it's not pretty )

Well here they are....told ya it wasn't pretty

Flamingo - That looks like tons of work! And I thought my hack job of not taking my interior out was tough.

The project boat is identical to my boat so I thought it would be better to figure this stuff out on a boat I'm going to sell. I have the motors out and the interior at the upholsterer. I wanted to do the cabin upholstery myself and this is helping me figure out how it comes appart.
