mav66 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I know there was a thread a long time ago about replacing the pie hole access panel with a rectangular more user friendly panel. Any links, or suggestions, etc, would be much appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mav66 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks for the info, that is what i was looking for. Did you tape the area off before cutting to prevent any chipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDXT Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Man I need to do this.....I just have this fear of cutting into my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algi Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yes i taped it all off.Just be careful as to where the live well intake is. Other than that you r good to go. Cutting was a snap. I used one of those chicago vibrating saws. Harbor freight. The half moon blade. Cut like butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDXT Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Algi, you got the hatch with the removal lid, not the hinged one correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algi Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes removable lid. I had to get it right from TH marine. No one had that hatch. It worked out great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDXT Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thx, I couldn't find the detachable lid anywhere but TH website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algi Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes th marine is the only place to get it. No stores have in . I got the 11x19 It fit perfect. Make a template first . I made it out of cardboard and cit out the inner opening and rested it in the motor well to see how it fit and it was just tight. Good luck. Let me know if u need any more help. If you were closer to me i would come and help u out. I was worried at first also but its no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mav66 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for the help, me and a few friends all have Master anglers, so we will attempting ours soon.So TH sold direct to you? Their site directs you where to buy, West Marine, etc. THanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algi Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 yes i know it does but you can't find it anywhere. You have to call them and get it right from them. Measure the opening first. Make a template and make sure the 11x19 will fit yours. It fit mine perfectly. I have a 2004 MA 17 ft. If you need anymore help don't hesitate to ask.

mav66 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I got mine in....thanks again....what type of adhesive did you use? Thanks George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algi Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I used regular ge silicone. Just in case i had to take it off for some reason. Did u get the 11X19 from TH marine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav66 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yeah i ordered 3 of them, i have two friends who also have Master Anglers, so we are going to draw straws to see which boat we cut first,lol. I thought about the possibility of having to remove it one day, so i was leaning more towards a lower end silicone, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
