[C320-list] splash guards

[Karl Mielenhausen]

Jim,

I replaced the lower fiddle (the one nearest the sink) in June 2009.
The cost from the factory at that time was $56 plus $11 shipping.
It was a pretty good fit but you really need to be careful not to overtighten.
The Plexiglas seems brittle even when new and surely doesn't get any
better with age.
If I had a plastics fabricator nearby, I would have tried to have it
made locally.

I dealt with Ellie Quinn at the Florida factory.
You can try calling at (727) 544-6681 or Ellie at catalinayachts dot com

Mine are cracked beyond repair. I have contacted Catalina about replacements and I'm waiting for a call back. Looking for ideas for replacing them.
