dropaline Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 does anyone know the dimension of the hatch used in replacing the pie plate in 16 bayfisher 1997? I did a search to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Nelson Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Had this one custom made. Pretty hard to find a good size for the odd shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Neely Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Dale, Recently purchased a 1994 Bayfisher. Would like to replace the pie plate with the unit you have pictured. Can you tell me who made this for you and the approx. cost. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Nelson Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Contact chief5130. He was going to keep the template we made. I haven't seen him on here in awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Neely Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Would this template fit a 16 Bayfisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Nelson Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I would assume they would be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trf97 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I keep meaning to look and see if the dimensions on this one will work, but I found it a while back. Might measure your splashwell and see if this one will fit. http://www.duskyonline.com/711SW-p-rectangular-pry-out-deck-plates.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Par8head Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Had to trim 3/4 inches off of front of hatch bottom..........think I paid $40ish at local store. I set it hinged to stern. Replacing all pumps etc while it's wide open, but will be able to access all much better than the factory pie plate. Gotta love a Dremel.

SSN651 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Dale, I need the hatch shown in your post for my 96 bayfisher 18. I've been trying to contact Chief5130 to no avail. Do you have any contact infor for him? Thanks, Chuck 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSN651 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I guess not... Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSN651 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Well, I have an idea I'm going to try out. I'm going to cadd up a drawing for a optically clear 3/8" plexiglass plate cut to fit the splashwell. It will just be screwed in the place of the plug I cut out. I can't find anything to fit and I've not had a response from anyone willing to pop a hatch for this oddball layout. Chuck 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Did you call Boat Outfitters? I think they make more starboad stuff than anyone. I bet they could hook you up with a hatch pretty quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSN651 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I'll give them a call Monday to see if they can help. Thanks, Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSN651 Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hey Goat. I went another route and got a skinny kid to do it. I got no interest from BO, so I cut bait. I made a template that I'll get cut by a plastics shop when I find a good one. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he saved the template we made. I don’t get up by his house much, but next time I’ll try to see if he still lives there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
