I did exactly that on the first two I tried....it worked, but left me with some odd shaped holes. I ended up using my dremel with a grinding wheel to take down the pointy ends of the screws and I'll just leave the shafts in place. They'll be hidden under the seats anyway, so it's really not a big de...

The heads of the screws are pretty messed up...even the bits designed to take out stripped head just stripped them even further. I went out & picked up the 3/4" hole saw...it worked great, but after doing two of them and standing back for a look, I didn't like what I saw....two 3/4" wi...

Thanks you!

Anyone know of a good place to pick up "Box Hatches? I'd like to install a small box hatch/cooler into one of the benches on the FL-11; I've considered just building a hatch into one of the bench tops & throwing my cooler down into it, but I figured I might as well check out prices on a box...
