The hinges are simple ones from the hardware store. The side that attaches to the board are long and V shaped and the side that attaches to the conpanion way are narrow. You can see them if you zoom in on the picture from behind.

What did you use for a hinge? I am thinking of reworking mine. It does eliminate the need of removing the board when you need to access the cabin for any reason, as I found out during my shake down cruise yesterday. Merry Helen II96 M15 #602.

I have my radio mounted, which has GPS so I have speed and direction if needed. I have a depth sounder which is the kind that mounts on the inside of the haul and it works great. I also have a spot for my 5 minute timer for races. The button is my horn which has an in-line fuse bypassing the circuit panel so it's always live for when it's needed.
