2001 GW Gulfstream 232. Looking for ideas or suggestions. This cockpit trim panel which holds the cup holder and has the windshield wiper - on mine, it’s falling apart. Last season mine had a structural crack. To keep from getting worse the marina slapped on a patch from the back. Probably some epoxy or some other “glop”. Seemed to work. It is still working. But now I have a hole about the size of a nickel punched straight thru. I suspect a worker on the boat had an “accident“, but don’t know for sure. It was there when I went to the boat first time this season.
I am pretty sure that I saw a thread here or somewhere else at one point but I can’t find it (been searching for 3 days). From what I recall, Grady doesn’t still have this part. Not surprising, the boat is more than 20 years old.
Any suggestion? Anybody deal with similar problem? One solution is to try and patch more and reinforce from the rear. That’s the obvious. The easiest would be replacement with another panel. So if anyone has a creative idea on where to get one, I’d really appreciate thoughts. FWIW, boat is on Cape Cod. Also, not my picture but wanted to show the specific area of damage.
Thank you!
