    Rubber mat for bow

    I want to adhere a rubber non-skid mat on the bow to step on. Where is the best place to get it and does anyone have clever ways to install?

    Thanks

    Get a little more then ya need cut a thin card board templet of what ya want and then use it to cut the mat, make all corners round and end all edges at least a 1/4" from and turn downs in the top cat to the hull.. Also lay out in the sun to get it warm and plyable

    Exactly what he said! A couple things I'll add. Use a high quality 3M vinyl adhesive to secure the mat. Once it's in place an cured, use black indoor/outdoor silicone to seal the edges. This gives it a nice, finished look and makes it far less likely to peel back.

    Good luck!

    I bought mine from HYDRO-TURF.COM. They use 3-m tape on the back. It's the same mat that is used on jet skis.

    Lou's on the money and the non skid material from C&O already has the glue on the back side...a fine product from some of the best people to deal with

    I emailed them. The 36" x 52" mat is $75. That's a very good price.
