Anyone know if new hinges (or anyone have good used ones) are available for my 73 SN? One of them broke over the weekend? They look to be cast, chrome plated, brass /bronze. http://s37.photobucket.com/user/kten72/media/73%20Ski%20Nautique/IMAG0498_zps06c5411b.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  About 3" long from pin to end.

That's too bad - you must have been opening up the doghouse a lot at the show! It was great seeing your '73 again, what a beauty! ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

I broke one when the boom cables let loose with a big boy on the end of it. I replaced both with solid stainless ones from west marine. So if you just want one decent original, I'll send it to you. Looks like you may have some issues with the wood glassed into the motor box. Chris, A doghouse is a motor box with an open front. Tell jpass too, his '92 don't have a doghouse.

Points deduction for one incorrect screw.  If it was a Ford you would not have had to open the doghouse and all would still be good.  ------------- If you're going through hell, keep going http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2999" rel="nofollow - 89 Ski <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5685" ta |

Al, 92 bucks! ....think I might give the ebay ones a try. I was yankin the chain regarding PO and the screws. I'm planning to replace all of them when replacing the hinges. JP, thanks for the link. I didn't see any of the strap style on Christies site tho. Want to keep as close to original because of upholstery and carpet marks from old hinges. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

John, did you ever find a hinge for your boat? I was going thru some "parts stash boxes" this weekend, I might have found an extra. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |
