I am attempting to figure out the easiest and cheapest way to cover up a small opening just off the floor of the cockpit where the PO installed some instruments (A really dumb place). I now have all new mounted at the helm. I know that I could use a piece of teak, but I was looking for something white. I ran into a product that looked like it might work at Home Depot about a year or so ago, but they no longer stock it. It was called "Gasliner FRP". It was flexible, white, smooth and appeared to be easy to work with when I looked it over. Any other thoughts. Greg W.

What about a thin piece of white starboard material? One inside and one outside sandwiched with round head screws and castle nuts.

Polycarbonate or PVC

or plexiglass would serve ok. Google plastics suppliers and go visit them. They may have a small piece of something which will suffice.

If you can't get Starboard...

...then try a cutting boared cut to size and use a sealer on it.

Speakers for the stereo is how I filled mine. Pray for Wind, Lugeman

I found a Datamarine clock to fill speedlog hole

Never new they made them but found a Datamarine clock on ebay that matched and fit the old speedlog location. Apparently someone had some old new stock and sold off a dozen or more of these on ebay a couple of months back. Nice having a clock in the cockpit now. The only other option was Starboard as the others have mentioned. Good stuff as it cuts and routers just like wood.
