Title: 1997 Aquasport Exporer transom and door cleanup
Post by: czizza on January 20, 2014, 11:36:32 AM

Hi All,

Doing the winter projects up here in NY and I wanted to show the progress:

Original transom with PO rusted hinge fix ... I hate when people do stuff 1/2 fast:

Here is one of the good hinge:

I found the hinge online:

Might as well replace both:

And now here is the fixed version (I need to figure out how to remove the rust):

Old Doors with replacement lock:

New doors with correct locks:

I will have more as I get done.
