Any pics? I'm looking for ideas on how to cover my fuel tank lockers also.sailboatmike wrote:By far the best mod I have made as yet is the Sunbrella covers for the fuel tank lockers, its so simple and quick and makes a huge difference to the look of the boat rather than seeing a couple of old weathered fuel tanks you see beautiful covers with snap locks (press studs) holding them in place, sort of completes the cockpit
My new mods.

Same as these,they look awesome, really make the cockpit look neat and tidy compared to without the covers.

Re: My new mods.
Really easy, the hardest part was working out the right overlap.
I allowed about 1 1/2 inches on each side and about the same for the top, the bottom was slightly smaller maybe 1 inch overlap, these are finished sizes of course so the cut out size would be around 4 inches wider and around 3 inches higher than the tank locker hole (allowing for 1/2 inch seams)
