Mesh (netting) behind the chairs and in the bow area
 

I've scoured the forums, but I can't find mention of these trash/whatever holders that obviously are all stretched out over time. Anyone know where to get replacement for it? Or have a clever idea of what to use instead?

Went ahead and did this quick repair, looks 100% better!

Left chair is a before - Right chair is an after - Good call WW:yes_grin:

On a side note, what's this black do-dad?

I've never seen anything like that before! Anyone else have one of these on their boat?

The seat mesh repair looks great. :wink_thumbup:

The black "do-dad" is the vent for the gas tank.

Re: Mesh (netting) behind the chairs and in the bow area
 

Ahhh...gas vent! makes sense! - Yeah inside it's connected to a tube that runs by the motor and through under the center of the hull. So where's the gas tank located?


Thanks! Amazing what a $1.50 in elastic and a few minutes can do!

Yep, I've got one of those do-dads and yep, if I don't slow down the pump when nearing full, fuel will slosh out of it when the pump clicks off.

Gas tank is under the floor between the engine compartment and the ski locker

FUN!:rolling_laugh:

That problem could be solved by one of these: Fuel Whistle.

I don't have one, but I've heard they do work well.

Where exactly is that?

Re: Mesh (netting) behind the chairs and in the bow area
 

On the port side of the swim platform.

I think I noticed that and wondered what it was at the time. Thanks.

Need more details!

Are you just replacing elastic across the top of the netting? Where did you get the elastic?

Is it a pretty simple procedure?

Re: Mesh (netting) behind the chairs and in the bow area
 

Yep, very simple, about 5 minutes per chair.

Items needed:

- 1 inch wide elastic strips from Wal-Mart ($2 a pack, probably need 1 to 2, you'll find these in the fabric section)
- Scissors
- Phillips Screw Driver

1. Take just the top left and right screw of of the chair to get at the top of the netting.
2. On mine the elastic band (no elasticity left) was partially sewn into the net, so I cut a quarter inch off both sides to release the elastic.
3. Safety pin the new elastic strip to the old one, pull the old one through as it pulls the new elastic in place.
4. Then screw in one side (left or right) putting the screw through the netting+new elastic
5. Pull the the other side as taut as you'd like, and screw through the netting+new elastic on that side, then cut the excess.

All done - looks great!:wink_thumbup:

Can anyone help me find out how to remove the raised side panels in the cockpit? The upholstery is worn on the ends and I want to replace it myself.

Re: Mesh (netting) behind the chairs and in the bow area
 

On my 202 the side panels are just hung in place on some aluminum hangers. Simply grab them at the bottom and lift up.

Re: Mesh (netting) behind the chairs and in the bow area
 

Thanks. Sounds simple. Will give it a try.

Say, is that fiberglass floor panels? mine is plywood & isn't perfect, I wondered if it were possible to replace with fiberglass....

Mine looks like the 'old' picture. Thanks for the great tip!!
