Will look forward to the vent photos. Are those overhangs hollow?
No water entered around console, was thoroughly checked even with some test drill holes. Due to the camber of the bridge deck the only way that area gets wet is if there is no bimini or cover to protect it from rain. The sides and fore and aft edges of the bridge are exposed to the weather hence why they are more likely to suffer... it is unlikely that water within the deck would run uphill to under the console, it does run back at the sides of the bridge due to gravity though.
The overhangs have a space between them and the bridge floor which is a cap, an upside down bathtub based on how it was laid up. Since I have sealed the surround with 5200 I want that trapped airspace to breathe.

Thanks, Michael
Of course I can ship them as long as you pay.
Let's take this to email ready123@rogers.com.
Where do you need them shipped to?
There are no tears... the piping along the bottom of one is pulling a way and just needs to be stapled back down.

The rails are full three piece... they have not been cut for the hinges. So they are just like the ones in your picture.

3 each side... yeah the bench allows 2 of us to lay down on those cool days spring & fall to soak up the sun behind the glass enclosure.
No rush with the rails... they are at the back of my storage and all the boat cushions etc: don't come out till next week.
