    Question IDEAS FOR COVERING FLUSH MOUNTED GRAPH HOLE???

    Hoping y'all got some ideas for covering the hole at the bow where a graph was flush mounted. I seen an old post of a machined cover plate that had the champ logo on it. Unable to make contact with that member so looking for some help. Would like to order something professional looking, however I'm pretty handy at making stuff. so if you have some ideas that turned out looking nice please post pics and some info please! Thanks guys!

    The top two covers are original covers from my 2006 198, the bottom is one made out of aluminum. I had them Hydro dipped.

    I just deleted my pics, but can take more. I had a piece of aluminum engraved and then hydro dipped in carbon.

    Thanks guys! I'll check C&O to see what they got! Ed, those are sharp! 8UP, I'd love to see what you have, and any ideas where I could get the champ logo engraved?

    Not sure how to post pics. Mine is similar to above. A buddy got the measurements, cut a piece of aluminum to size. Printed a vinyl carbon decal for it and I added a black and red Champion boats sticker I got from Iguana Graphix.

    I made one out of lexan and had it hydrodipped. If I had to do it again, it would be powercoated aluminum - the hydrodip coating chips easily where the screws go in and warps a bit when tightening the screws down.

    Thanks for the help guys! 1 guy on here had 1 with the logo engraved but it was to small for what I need. Looking for an aluminum plate engraved with the champ logo, 6"h x 9"w.
