    Question Covering hole in bow

    I removed my flush mounted 5” humminbird from my stratos 285xl and now I am trying to find something to cover the big hole that was left. Anyone know where to get a replacement bow panel or something to cover it?

    Contact CBailey. I’d bet he could make you an awesome plate of some type.

    I made a filler from a colored vinyl cutting board. It looks nice and was 1/2” thick. It has lasted for 5+ years.

    I had some to cover and found flat plugs at Lowe's. They had chrome and black ones.

    I used cherry stained and sealed 1/4" oak and put my Ram mount base and a Helix 9 SI on it. Solid as a rock.

    Corian, Then Plasti Dip it the color you want. I have a couple of pieces (Ugly color) that I could cut and router the edges for you if you send me a template.

    Looks good. How did you attach the plate? Glue? I need to do the same for console and bow.

    I just used silicone, I'm sure you could pry it out if needed.
