[Rhodes22-list] Motor Lift Repair - what material? - Companion way cover

[ejor2 at aol.com]

Rob,

I made a new cover with smoke 1/4 acrylic, I didn't hinge it, but put two strips on the inside and outside of the top piece, so it kind of slides onto the bottom peice. I was woried the hinge may leak. I like the two seperate peices, easier to handle and stow. I hope to get out to the boat today and will take some pictures. - Eric

Stephen,

etween the two pieces?  I need to replace mine this year. - rob

 Rummy, I will be trailer-sailing out of the Denver area.  Rookie  
 this year.
 I'll probably post something about my first sails when the cold season
 really slows down the list traffic and everyone is bored.
 Rummy and Andrew  - my motor lift parts are definitely not aluminum,  
 but I
 did check out a local recycling outfit and couldn't find any  
 aluminum shapes
 that would work.  I will inquire with Stan but I think it is too old  
 for
 replacement parts so I will check on a new lift.  However, my wife  
 seems to
 think the mortgage and Christmas are more important than sailboat  
 parts so I
 need to do everything on-the-cheap.  She is not hooked yet apparently.

 Starboard may work for me.  If you have any sources for the UV  
 resistant,
 high density plastic please e-mial.  I e-mailed the manufacturer of  
 the
 cutting board material I was considering and asked if it was UV  
 resistant.
 The response e-mail was simply "No".
