Where can I get the cargo net I see alongside some I/O engines?

I would like to take advantage of the unused storage in the engine compartment. Not really an I/O problem but I hoped the experts here might know.

Thanks.

I'm sure you could order through the mfg but that would be rather spendy. Might try a bungee type net I saw a bunch of different sized ones at harbor freight. A tailgate net might also work or even go to a junkyard as a lot of station wagon type cars had them for the rear cargo area. I had an old trampoline enclosure that was a huge net I have cut it up and used it for all kinds of things, has been very handy. I made a cargo net for my open bow to haul stuff that I made out of the tramp enclosure it is a custom fit net and works great.

cut a couple of pieces of marine plywood, attach them with a hinge, and cover them with either carpet or some type of bedliner. If yo carpet them you will have the exact setup my stingray came new with. Use a hook to hold them up, then drop them down when you want to work on the engine.

I've got the glastron nets in my boat. They really don't do much because they are too elastic, in fact the dealer said a lot of his customers put big rubbermaid tubs in there to hold their gear in place. I am planning on doin that, some standard silicon should hold it in place, while still allowing me to remove it if need be.
