Replacement parts

[gatord413]

I just bought a 2003 215 Explorer. I would like to replace the side coaming pads to look original. Any ideas where replacements may be available?

Pete or Marc,
MCL, do they have any upholstery?  gatord, you may have to go to a local seamstress/canvas shop...

You won't find original, i dug though MCL for 2 hours just looking for those last year, non to be had, ended up getting some that were kind of close.

Scott is correct, they have tons of coaming pads from all different makes and models, I got a nice set (brand new) off white, with a gold accent panel, it has the rubber bead that slides into the piece already mounted on my boat, if I remember they were pretty cheap, and very nice.

I picked these up there, perfect fit, can't remember the price but Marc is right they were cheap.

ditto was the guys said,I also dug through piles of those at MCL,there isnt any,if you have your old ones take to a canvas shop and get them recovered.the originals were pretty basic.good luck

gator,
Another alternative is to pick up ones like Scott got, then have the center panel replaced with a blank white one...easy to do for a good seamstress...
