[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 386870, member: 15462"] Howdy. Had another great day on Lake Conroe yesterday with little Emma and the wife. Everyone enjoyed the day. :mrgreen: Time to work on seat cushions. See the pic below to relate to a discussion about the center seat, live bait well underneath. I plan to use the LBW as dry storage. I have a piece of 3/4 plywood cut to fit nicely on the top of that center seat. My thoughts are to seal the wood in a couple coats of resin, attach two 1-foot long SS piano hinges to the front face of the seat, and the underneath of the wood itself. I'll have an upholstery shop cover it with some closed cell foam and marine grade vinyl. Hinges: (1582A256): https://www.mcmaster.com/#door-hinges/=x7yvkp I would like your thoughts on whether my hinge arrangement is sound, or not. Keep in mind that to attach the piano hinge to the front seat facing I will need to use [i]some [/i]rivets and some #8 or #10 SS nuts/bolts, because I cannot get to the back of that seat facing where the LBW is. There is about 1/4" gap between the LBW wall and the front seat facing. Rivets with some 5200 should work. Does this plan sound reasonable? Thanks for any feedback. CMOS [/QUOTE]
