Repair / replace bulkhead liner fabric for 1983 Oday 25

[dwdooher]

Not sure if this posted yesterday. I am replacing the cabinet shelf, sink, and upper shelf on the starboard side of the cabin across from the porta-head. There was a leak from stay plate that has been remdied.

The bulkhead fabric liner is fairly beat up. Would like to replace it, but don't know if it can be purchased anywhere. Any suggestions where I can find some, or alternatives, are welcome.

Thanks.

I replaced mine when I rebuilt mine.

When you remove the old liner, save it for use as a pattern, if you can. Mine was separating from the hull so it came off fairly easy.
Installing the new stuff goes pretty easy, easier than you would think.
Check the archives from around 2009 or so, there was a bit of discussion on this topic.
If you want more info you can message me

Can't really help you with a "liner" replacement, as my original was teak-laminate plywood.
However, I gutted that area during a refit a couple years ago, and replaced the bulkheads entirely. Now they're white-painted plywood. The vanity is replaced with some wire shelves (picture shows my first try at it, now the shelves to all the way across), and the sink is on a shelf behind the head.
Maybe it'll give you some inspiration?

Ah, RBone's reply shows you may have meant the hull liner.
I replaced mine with brown in/outdoor carpet. Wire-brushing off the old adhesive was an awful job. The new stuff is glued on with carpet glue, which took a good week to dry. If you go this way, don't trowel it on too thick, as it tends to squeeze through the carpet.

Here's how that opposite-head area looks now. Indispensable for bed-clothes storage. The canvas keeps everything in place while underway.
Also, the new sink behind the head. I made it from an SS mixing bowl from Target.

Looks great. The mixing bowl from Target is genius.

Replaced our entire hull liner with an outdoor carpet from Home depot. Glued it in place with carpet glue. Still in great condition a year later and
less than $100 in material.:dance:
