Cup Holders

My glovebox has the center latch so thats the one I ordered. It lines up side to side but the latch is too close to the catch and won't close.

That's similar to what I did in my Tique, also is my battery cover.

Joey, I got a lid from christines. Thanks for the tip. It fit pretty well but the latch doesn't line up right, gonna have to modify it I guess.

Thanks alot Joey! I have been looking for a new lid for a while now. I bought one from christine's today. By the way, my 90 only had cup holders by the glove box. I put one in on the driver side with a hole saw between the throttle and windshield and it turned out great. Even if it chips the gel the flange on cup holder covers it up just check for wires underneath.

Joey, yes the lid is the only problem with mine. I would love to find just the lid if you know of one.

I recently cut two semetrical holes in my dash for cup holders. They work perfectly. I have "correct size" holes and the cup holders have a chrome ring on the lip, which makes them look cool. It takes away from the stock look but unfortunately I have gone too far to turn back now. It didn't help that the guy who had it before me decided he was a carpenter and made any modification he thought would be "cool". I try keep my modifications more on the classy side (if thats possible). Good luck to you!

Joey, sorry to get off subject but where did you buy your glove box? That is the original for my 90 but cc wants $225 for it. did you find it aftermarket or did you get it from the dealer?

Thanks!! That's ok, I was in the process of taking everything out because I'm having my seats redone in a couple weeks.

Looking back on that post, I need to go back and edit it with some "winky" emoticons otherwise someone may actually try to cut cup holder holes with a sawsall!

Well I thought you were being seriously. See ya gotta watch what you say. Your word on here is taken as gospel.

Welcome! I am one of the outcasts mentioned above . I rebuilt my boat last year and when I bought it, it came with 1000 parts which included about 15 cup holders that came out of a 2005 Sport. I am not a fan of cutting holes in my dash but I say do what you gotta do to make it functional and to enjoy it! I cut a few holes in my dash because my rebuild was far from orginal and I wanted a glove box to hold stuff and my radio!   I love the orginal look and have much respect for keeping things orginal but I brought my boat back from the dead so didn't feel to bad making a few mods to the orginal design. After cutting this hole I think a few cup holders (which I want bad) won't be much of a task.



I plan on putting two next to the glove box and one above the shifter where they have them in the newer boats.

I did find this mod which is pretty nice if you don't want to cut any holes in the dash. If you plan on putting in speakers then this would work well and you can take them out if you sell the boat. Of course this would only work for the back seat passengers and not the driver. But if your driving then you have time to sit back, relax and drink a few!

Ok, thanks for the advice, I need to build a back seat since it didn't come with one, so I can put some there. I was thinking of 12, but didn't want the boat riddled with holes!!! haha

Troy,
As mentioned, you will probably get better advice over on other sites like 2001.com or wakeboarder.com but be carefull. They have a problem with measuring the correct size for the hole saw so consequently most will use a Sawsall.

Only six cups? There should be room for at least 12. You need some in the gunwales too.
