Author Topic:   Fishbox lid repair

I have a fishbox lid on my 1999 Outrage 20 that is delaminating. After calling Sue at Twin Cities marine this is a part no longer made by Whaler so its a glass repair job.
There isn't anyone in Utah that is up to this type of repair so I am hoping and a bit anxious that a member here on the forum might know a shop that could handle something like this.
Thanks in advance for any tips

Whaler Commercial Product Division?

Thanks Larry,
That's where Sue checked. BW has had this particular lid off their inventory for a while. She was hoping the Commercial division would do it and they won't .
I guess this size of mine isn't made at all anymore

I just had to do mine last winter because of the same issue. I carefully cut where the two came together and just pulled the two apart for the first half then became more difficult as the rot was not as apparent. Used 1/2" marine ply "core" and polyester resin to do the job. Make sure that you clamp the "core" to the lid tightly for a good bond. Tape out the lid so the rein won't get on it. Boat is a 2000 Outrage 18.
