Patching a radio hole in a center console
Hi Folks,
I have recently removed and relocated a radio from my center console, leaving the hole in the console where the radio had been. The hole is about 3" x 6". What recommendations do you have for covering and sealing up the hole. I'm most concerned with having it sealed up tight to keep water out of the console. I'd like it to look nice, but it's not a pristine boat and function of the solution is more important than aesthetics. Any ideas would be appreciated. Rob |

Rob Go to a trophy shop and have a 3 1/2" by 6 1/2" brass plate engraved with the name of your boat. Get some good glue ( this should work http://tinyurl.com/5pjxqn ) and glue said plate over the hole. Now you've fixed it with some class! Or, buy a cheap cutting board at your local Wal Mart. Cut a chunk to fit. Glue it. Use the rest of the board to cut bait on. |
