Battery/Cooler lids Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: General Discussion Forum Discription: Anything Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50449 Printed Date: March-03-2025 at 4:55pm Topic: Battery/Cooler lids Posted By: spaceman201 Subject: Battery/Cooler lids Date Posted: January-19-2022 at 3:49pm So the lids for the battery and cooler on my 84 ski Nautique 2001 needed to be redone. The wood is basically rotten. I have caught two nice new pieces of three-quarter inch plywood and they fit in the old aluminum frames very nicely. I think the battery lid is the original and the cooler lid has been replaced at least once. I’ve got my wood cut and I’m looking for some turf. I could also use one more aluminum frame, one has a couple of bites/nicks out of it somehow. Once I found the turf, what’s the best way to glue it to the plywood?
