    Coverplate for old flasher hole?

    What does everyone have? Looking to cover up the hole at the bow. Does anyone have a solution that gives a person usable storage or such?

    Maybe something like a cup holder with lid.
    Speed cost money. How fast ya wanna go? I have done so much for so long with so little. I can now do the impossible with nothing!

    That was was my first thought. Figured I would ask here before I start wandering around the store.

    I was looking for a small piece of clear plastic. Ended up buying a clear plastic desk picture frame. Cut it apart and smoothed edges. Painted back side to match dash and used Velcro to attach to dash. It looks ok and I can remove it to reach water pressure gauge to disconnect water line easily for winter storage. Less than $2.

    Make a new plate out of starboard, plexi , aluminum or other material and send it to us to hydrodip. Can match the original Ranger woodgrain or do a custom pattern, carbon fiber etc.
