Finding Clear Plastic Instrument Flap

[GregSteimel]

Sourcing is maybe the toughest part of maintaining a boat. Anyone have an idea where I can get a square foot of thick, clear plastic to replace this one in my cockpit?

canvas maker. It's used in dodgers etc. I forget the name of the really thick stuff... maybe they would have a remnant...

Sailrite has it I think Strato glass is the heavy stuff

Any dodger maker will have clear PVC, and in different grades.

So it doesn't flap in the wind, this stuff is heavy. Heavier than any dodger window. More like the material that hangs across a walk-in refrigerator door. It's 1/4" or maybe even 3/8" thick.

So, why not use rigid Lucite instead? LIkely better longevity and clarity, easy to come by and cheap as chips.
