The following pictures and captions are contributed by Rob Novak regarding his Lazzerete Project.
I have had a few issues with items in the lazzerete interfering with the steering mechanism and the rudder position indicator. I decided to build two shields to protect the rudder position indicator and keep hoses, lines and boat brushes out of the steering quadrant.
In both cases I used cardboard to fashion a template that I then traced onto 3/8 inch Seaboard that I bough at TAP plastics (http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=344&). I cut the Seaboard with a saber saw and used a wood file to take off sharp edges.
Image port-1 – before installation
Image port-2 – attached a small strip of Seaboard to the rudder position indicator bracket (attached by screws from the bottom)
Image port-3 – installed. Attached at the top by 3 screws through the
bottom of the manual bilge pump mounting board.
Image starboard-1 – top of the starboard piece. Attached by 4 screws
Image starboard-2 – bottom of the starboard piece. Secured at the bottom by
two screws into a strip of Seaboard.
