Did BW hinge the front locker area on any of their Outrage models. if so, how was it hinged, ie; off the rear or side? i would like to hinge mine.

In reviewing all the Outrage 18 personal pages, I see one with hinges on the right long side and a 1984 on the left side

A good photo is near the bottom of
this personal page

I hinged mine on the right side. Works great.

My 25' Outrage forward locker is hinged on the starboard (right) side. The hinges are not recessed.

Did the '76 Sport 15 have hinges ? Does anyone know ? I have no hinges on my front Bow locker, It never flew off (does'nt mean it won't).

Take a look at our article in the article section. It shows hinge placement for Outrage series Whalers.

While I thought I looked in the FAQ's and Articles, I now see the article in the Installation category. Ya think you know where things are and then, bam! A new gem is revealed. Woah!

I added them to the front locker of my 22 outrage and could not have been happier.

Being right handed I mounted the hinges on the left side. In rough water I would typically hold the railing with my left and lift with my right hand. The hinges helped to keep the door in place while I was getting the anchor out of the locker. Before the hinges I would try and prop the door up but it would always fall and slide around on the deck. I lost a lot of skin on my feet from it over the years.
