Chrome Logos

**Canuckle Head** · 06-09-2010, 12:21 PM

Well, my new Chrome Logos arrived a few days ago and I am hoping for a little advice on how best to install them. Have a look a these:

Now have a look at the hull on my boat:

Obviously I have a small dilema on my hands. If I place the new logos where the old logos are, I will have a gap between the logo and the hull and I'm worried about water getting in there and causing problems. So the other option is to mount them above that line in the hull. Here is a side shot with the cover off:

Do you think this will look OK or should I just leave it alone? What about oxidation on the hull? When I remove the old logo will I still see the outline on the hull and if yes, what is the best way to deal with that? Personally, I think the logos above that line in the hull will still look good but I am concerned that you will still see the outline of the old logos.

Advice?

Second Ed's comment....

I'm not big on the new huge chrome logos either - I wish that they would have ditched the sticker on the back for a same sized 3D logo. If only you could shrink the ones you got!

If you don't mind me asking, what did they cost?

Dang Canuckle, you beat me to it! I am going to be putting my order in for these chrome letters asap also. However, I'm hoping to figure out a good way to mount them, and let us know. Especially after seeing them, I'm not sure how I'd do it.

I suppose you'd want to put some transfer tape on the outside of the letters, as they are arranged in the package, and then use a lot of soapy water, and patience. The photo of a boat with the chrome logos on it had the letters up higher than standard factory location (though they were located there at the factory). My recommendation would be to try to use that contour in the hull as the bottom edge alignment. It would place the letters closer to the contrast tone of the hull, but I don't think that I'd tempt putting them below that line, as you said, they'd be in the water.

Ian - They are around 200 per side.

the moomba at our dealer has them on. I like them on that boat, but I do have to agree with the others. your boat looks dang nice to me right now..

I love the chrome letters but wouldn't put them on your boat. Not enough contrast for one thing. I like it the way it is.

Hey Ian:

This one is for the back of the boat.

Yes please! Do you happen to know the part number?

No, but I'll find out and get back to you.

Thats different, isn't it a drip molded vinyl decal? I actually ordered one for my boat, but I think my dealer forgot.
