I have a crack in the cockpit cupholder, self inflicted I may add. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find this? I looked on F/P but did not see anything. As you can see, its not very visable, just annoying.

Thanks
Brian

If you have a plastics manufacturer near you they could whip that out in no time. Take yours in so they can use it as a model.
 
If you can't find one ,

I would ask Nehalennia or Somesailor if they could cut one from a sheet of burl wood. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the responses. I have thought about Gorilla glue. I also have thought about stainless but the admiral thinks it would be too hot. I am trying to stay away from the wood and teak thing as I swore I wouldnt have any wood exosed after the 88 WE.
I am not so sure Sea Ray could help at this point in time either as far as parts go.
 
Mine has a small crack in it too. I may make a replacement and post it if anyone's interesed.
 
SS won't really be hot. It's pretty much only hot if something lays on top of it. Otherwise, it's pretty close to ambient. Feel your cleats or your bow rail - you'll see what I mean.

For what it's worth, it appears the plastic drink holder you have is no longer available. But, starting somewhere mid-year in 2004, they started using the 3-ring SS version. That version is available - I think it uses the same holes, but I'm not 100% positive. Maybe someone with a newer 280DA could measure the distance from hole to hole for you. Although, the same one was used in other models, you'd just need to verify the hole-to-hole.

However, having one of the guys above make one would probably be the sweetest way to go. Whatever they make would be REALLY nice.

Dennis, there is one at the marina, I will have a look. Mine just has a screw in each side to hold it in place, I think those were bolted through but I will check it out.
 
Actually if you are going with wood, it is just easier to use a couple dabs of 3M 4200, or 5200. This picture was taken 5 years ago.

I have removed it once for re-finishing, but other than that it has been solid.

I went the teak and aluminum route too....
