Whew that online glass looks awful! Glad you were able to pull the plug and not have to go back and rebuild the frame! The fact that the door is friction hinged answers my question on the earlier video.
Yes that was a close one. Almost gave up the ship and went with just epoxy. Lol. Regrouped for the win. Console looks so good in the boat all rigged up. I’ll be out on the water soon test running .
Looked like you had a bad piece of 1708? When I do glass work, I always put 2 sets of gloves on that way I can peel off the wet set and already have fresh dry set on to keep going. I have that same hatch on my Whaler 15' side console, I mounted it so the door folds down, I've noticed the friction hinge loses it's friction a bit over time and wont stay, up, open. You might run into the problem after a couple years of use? Your console looks great and all that work will pay off once you get it completed! Looking forward to the next episode.
