My birthday is Tuesday so the wife got me some boat stuff...always loved the look of the stainless steel cup holders...I think they just transform the look of the inside....simple and cheap...set of 8 off eBay for $40...there the double stack ones also...
She also got me the kneeboard/wakeboard tower rack holder again from fleabay....

Are the stainless cup holders just liners for the plastic cup holders or do you remove the plastic liners and just use the new stainless double holders? Part number, ebay vender and picture if possible. Thanks, Rcguy

Hey, thanks Albysure for quick reply...just pulled the trigger on #190865539632. I was thinking of going to stainless cup holders for awhile. Looks like you remove old plastic holders and silicone new holders in place.

Nice job!!!

Thanks...

The new cup holders have a seal on them already...I'm leaving them on there and not going to use adhesive...There was only 2 cup holders holes where I had to get a dermal to grind the hole bigger...I'm sure I could of just smashed them down but as much accessiores I like to do I would of destroyed the lip of the new stainless cup holders all up if I had to every remove them...wasn't bad at all... I put blue painters tape around the inside hole about half inch back or so...then used a plastic bag and pushed it down in there...as I dremaled it caught all the fiberglass and kept it from falling where I couldn't vacuum it up..

When ever it stops raining here I'll snap some pics..I'm in Florida and it has rained here for almost 7 days strait now...I just had to get them in...so I worked under my cover..lol

Here's a pic of what she got me incase the link I posted didn't work..ATTACH=CONFIG]30111[/ATTACH]

Albysure, what happened? April is suppose to be the driest month here in Florida...well not this year. I bought the same set of cup holders so no silicone. That will work.

Yea I know....nothing but rain....its just about done here and looks like it will be clear for about 5 days...hopefully the water stays clear and blue looking and all the water run off doesn't cloud it up...yea I wouldn't seal them in unless there to loose and even then just maybe 4 drops around it..
You will like them they really change the look of the inside...simple but dresses it up...
Says your in west central...Tallahassee area?

The cup holders came today. They are the exact ones bought by Albysure. Took two hours, a little Dremel work and silicone to do the job. Looks good and happy I went for the stainless Coors aluminum bottle holders.

O man two hours? Did you have to dremal all the holes? I only had two holes to do you could tell they were drilled on a angel from the factory...they look good tho and I like your hydro turf....your boat looks show room condition...

Unfortunately I had to Dremel all eight holes so the holders would have a tight fit but would not buckle. Only took about 4/6 minutes per hole. The hydro turf was probably the best of all the upgrades. Stays cool, easy non-slip for your feet, a breeze to clean and looks great. I bought the boat in December of 2014 and it was in showroom condition and I try to keep it that way. Thanks for the compliment. Regards, Russ (rcguy)

5200 is an incredible polyurethane sealer adhesive, it's strong and permanent so plan on using a chisel and grinder for future disassembly.

Where did you come up with 5200? I never mentioned 5200. I used GE Silicone ll clear to seal in the cup (beer) holders. It is 100% silicone and never hardens. It is waterproof and flexible.

Here are additional pictures of my upgrades.
Picture #2- (8) new stainless holders and Hydro Turf.

Plus my Sea-Doo hauler and my trailer/brake lights never go under water.

Pete I know how you feel. In 2012/13 I had a Sportster 155 hp, no supercharger and wanted at least a Challenger 180/215 for the room. Looked every day for over a year till I found my present Sea-Doo in December of 2013.
