I have a 2000 Skeeter ZX202 DC. I want to remove the old flasher from the bow plate and replace it with a flat bow plate like shown in the picture. Does anyone know where I can order one? ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2018/12/full-77502-240945-image1.jpeg)

I looked for one forever without any luck so I took my old one, fit an aluminum plate over the flat part and had it recovered with leather. Cut holes in the plate for the trolling motor plug and tilt switch and looks and works like new. Just a suggestion.

Thanks guys. I'll try Heliblade and if that doesn't work, where do you get aluminum thick enough to be stores, but this enough to shape?

You can buy aluminum at HD. You can't shape it like your picture you just cut and fit it to the flat surface to cover the holes and then cut the holes you need. I took mine to a leather shop and had it recovered but I suppose there are other options. Another would be to get a small piece of black plexi to cover the holes. Maybe the contact provided can make what you want and if that works out be sure and post it. I bet others have the same problem.

I took my old one and had a plastics manufacture Hill Plastics in Lewisville cut a new one. Used 1/4 textured high density polyethylene and it looks like it came factory.

Go here https://precisionsonar.com/products/ and see if your boat is on the list. Scroll down to bow replacement panels. I got one for my old 2006 Ranger. They were very helpful on the phone although you might be able to look at the photos and see if one fits your boat.

Had a buddy make one for me out of Teak wood. Looks great. Another buddy just made on for his boat out of aluminum he got at a recycling place.

I used a plastic cutting board. It was white & it matched the white helm. Worked great.

There's a guy on bass boat central that does them too, I think his handle is DD22, might be Boswell. Believe Boswell is on facebook as well, think I've seen some of his stuff on the Skeeter owners group.
