Center Windschield Storage Where?

[mh2508]

anyone have any good ideas where to store the center windshield? I hate that thing laying around in the boat. Was thinking of fabricating something under the dash for it to slide into or something under the front seat somehow.

I set mine in the side storage area and then slide it all the way aft to keep it out of the way until needed. Works ok for me but i know what you mean would be nice to have a nice storage solution for it.

me too, i was gonna have a vinyl pouch made to protect it but still have no real good place to put it. i like the idea under the dash, maybe theres a way to fabricate a couple brackets to slide it into or something...

Ya I was thinking about somehow building a little rack of some sort and fastening it up right on the hallway side below the dash so one could just slide it in and leave it. I will figure some way to do something with it this weekend.

Mine sits in the side storage and usally slides to the rear just before the seat. Never really seems to bounce or do anything just sit there.

window stored

I decided to store mine in my very front bow seat, I carpeted the inside rear of the seat compartment and the top front edges where it rest. I still have to put glass in my window frame and install the snaps for the bow cover to the window frame also. I will then us a strap with a snap on it screwed the the seat base and snap it to the window where I now have the green tape. Seems like it will be nice and solid and out of the way.

Nice, looks like it will be safe there, I usually leave mine on the lawn at the cabin and there have been a few times I wish I had it.

You should install Plexiglas in center windshield section. I did this last year and it is a lot lighter and easy to move around if needed. I was very surprise how heavy it was with temper glass in it.

Thats exactly what I did, I put 1/8'' clear in it and is at tint shop now. When I bought this boat they had lost the window so I got a oversized one from Cmate and cut it to fit. Glass company wanted $160 to cut the replacement for it. It got plex.

Mine was missing also when I bought the boat, so kip sent me a over sized one and i cut it down and installed plex.
