Replacing front door on a Pontoon boat.

[Silver Eagle]

Has anyone ever tried to change the way the front door opens on there boat. Mine just opens like a normal door but I have seen some boats where the door has to be lifted first before it will open .The door sits in a track in the deck. I think Tracker is one of these boats.

My Bass Buggy had them and also our new Silver Wave

You don't have to change the door, just the hinges.

Try www.pontoonstuff.com or everythingpontoon.com. I rebuilt my 24' JC Tritoon and installed the lift hinges and they work great. I cannot remember who I bought the hinges from, it was one of the two. Don't forget the base plate the door latches in.

Ya, our boats are that way too, the hinge has quite a bit of vertical play so it can lift and it sits in a plastic holder.

You would think you could get them somewhere but I have never looked, if you can find the parts it should be pretty easy to do.

You'll also need a pop rivet gun and stainless steel rivets.
