Engine hatch hinges

leedo...$25.00 . they're like the originals ,just heavier than what checkmate used in 95. i also got updated checkmate stickers with the checkered backround and horses head ,for $28.00 . pricing is more than fair . if i get another 9 years out of it before i have to do it again i'll be satisfied . i'm going to just get in the habit of checking them when i change the oil . if you or anyone decide to try the scissor style , keep us posted.RISENSHINE!!!!
 
we are not using the scissors hinges on the 283....(300)....we just put heavier hinges and a torgue bolt instead of a phillips....used to be #10 bolts and have up-graded to 1/4 by 20 torgue bolts....if it were ny boat I would also add a backing plate to the bottom of the deck for more but it may not be needed....you can drill it all out with a 1/4 inch bit and andd theses things yourself....your hole is already wollered out anyhow.....the hinge on the hatch is ok I hope....if not it is just as easily fixed.....let me know....you can mail me at kcwilliams@columbus.rr.com if ya want a faster responnse....dont get on this site as often as I like too.....good luck
 
you were asking about the 253 so my bad for saying the 300.....either way we have beefed things up and you got the info....good luck
 
thanks flash ,started to mount the hinges today , have to cut some plate and we're good to go . do you know what product they buff the boats out with and send them out the door with ?
