Gunnel rod box fix...
Great thread. Plenty of brain work going on here. When I picked up the 180 the in-gunnel rod boxes were hanging on by a thread. All cracked and and in peices.
I removed all the peices. Put them together like a puzzle and held the peices in place with masking tape from behind. Then I took um to the local spray bedliner guy and told him to give the fronts a light blast. That was 5 yrs ago.
The pic shows the spray with no tint. You can have them done in the color of your choice. They are stronger than new. When I reinstalled them I ripped a couple of 1" strips of pressure treated from a 1/2 " board. I placed them behind the inner hull to frame the length of the cutout and screwed through the edge of the box, inner hull and into the wood. Now I have to put back the teak mouldings.
Says the new guy.
