Hello all-
Awhile back, there was some info on mounting hinges for the forward storage compartment(bow). I thought they were Perko hinges? Can anyone tell me which ones I need(part numbers) and the vendor or direct me to the article ? I plan to have the cover open sideways to port.. Thanks in advance. P.S. I love my almond Dri-dek and Sternsaver! Thanks in advance.
John

That article lives in the Article link on the left sidebar under "Installation Instructions".

Hello all-
I installed my bow locker hinges as per the how-to section.. I cut a few legs off the bottom of the Dri-dek, to eliminate the areas where the hinges are proud. Turned out great. no more fumbling with the cover.. mine opens to starboard and rests on the forward cushion..if you haven't done it to your Outrage, do it!
All the best,
John

Any photos?

Those hinges are a huge improvement.

Hello Guys ,
Can the hinges be put on a 22 OR even if the pull handle is on the other end of the Anchor compartment cover . Mine is near the bow .. Not sure if that would work ?? Thanks
