[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 492641, member: 15636"] Ahhhhh ... see? A picture always helps! To me ... simple ... drop a SS piano hinge in VERTICALLY (sandwiched between the front deck and the box) and the box cover will rotate up and around to rest on the front deck. See if this sketch makes any sense ... [ATTACH type="full" alt="Box.jpg"]112793[/ATTACH] You can add blocking under the bow deck to securely fasten the hinge, but depending on the thickness of your cover, to securely fasten the hinge, use long screws, maybe long #8 SS 'flat head' hardware (FH screws needed to avoid binding on the hinge faces).
