Glove Box

#1 Post by BoatCop » Sun Jun 19, 2016 10:01 am

My main complaint about my Sun Tracker was the lack of a handy glove box. There is a locking compartment under the seats, but nothing easily accessible from the helm. Solution was a $25 glove box from Pontoonstuff.com, and about 20 minutes.

One complaint about the Pontoonstuff glove box was no template. So I made one.

A free shipping box from the Post Office worked perfect.

Traced the hole with a Sharpie. Make sure there's nothing on the backside.

For as much as I'd like a lockable glove box I was not willing to give up the real estate to put one in.... What I found as an alternative was to use Tinted Plastic File Holders; I used high bond double stick tape in case I changed my mind but thus far I love them. Installed on the inside of the front, side & rear gates as well as one by my side and one where your box now lives... They are working great for day use catch-all from trash to phones as well as map and wallet etc...
