Have Mainship Trawler Need Parts

[Billy Dugger]

Ahoy fellow sailors!

I recently purchased a 1983 Mainship trawler and I need a source of parts as I continue this adventure.

Specifically, at this time, I need a new instrument panel cover for the controls on the flying bridge.

Can anyone give me a source to purchase such parts?

Thanks,
Billy D

29 years, in the Control Center now but moving to Gulf Power in May! Post a pic of what you need I can't pass an old boat yard or marine supply store without stopping. See ya, Darrell

Hi Darrell,
Sure will. Hope to get down to the boat tomorrow, weather permitting.

Hey Billy
I'm sure you are familiar with Marine Supply on 49?

Marine Supply

Yes. Know them. Will check with them. Thanks.

If that fails there are a few guys on the net that make new custom panels fairly cheap.

That would be super

Who? How do I find them?

I steered you in the wrong direction.
You want the cover for the instrument panel not a new instrument panel.
Go to a decent sign manufacturing co. in town. (not a vinyl guy). They work with acrylic all day long. They can cut and form you a new one without any issues. I don't suggest lexan (polycarbonate) as it doesn't glue very well.
