Mainship 400 storage under bench seat

[PaulB.]

Hi Seevee and all. I was looking for the hinging detail that is used for the under bench seat storage. As I recall it was done to allow for easier opening and clearing the table top better. A Z-hinge? Any pictures or help appreciated. Thanks. Paul

Check out the Stella Blue web site. It has lots of project information for Mainship 400s including the storage under the dinette bench seat.

Thanks. The Stella Blue site was bang on what I was looking for. For others doing the addition:
The special hinges referred to are available on Ebay as Sea Ray part 2087958 16 gauge SS 7 inch. The vendor was great lakes skipper.
My cherry board came 3 1/2 inches tall so I went with that. Depending on your cushion height some may prefer the 3 inch high storage unit that Stella Blue made.
