Just wanted to post what I did to help secure a few weak lids on my ranger 175vs. I had my friend cut me 1/8 inch aluminum plates and cut the perko lid lock hole. I was trying to figure out a way to fix issue easy but cheap. I used the the perko lock to secure and had plates cut very close to inside diameter. So far it’s rock solid and an easy fix I just wanted to post this as I got a lotta of advice from here over the years


I’m not sure how to post pics. But I have them with measurements if anyone needs that info.
