Elastic nets?

[phospher]

Has anyone tried to install one of those elastic nets that you can store stuff in? I really want to install one of those but I'm not sure where the best spot would be in my 08 Outback DD. Would be nice to put it on the back of the observers seat since that would be the most convenient spot but I don't think it would be wise to scew into that plastic. Anyone?

That would work, short ss screws but don't put alot of weight as it may affect the door closing properly.

One of the first things I added to my boat. Check the link in my sig for a couple of pictures of where I put mine. Like jmvotto mentioned, I'd be concerned about weight and extra stress on the hinges.

I installed them on my 07 DD. You can see pics in my profile page.

What size of screw did you use Viking?

You know I can't remember exactly?
I know they are pretty short because I wanted to ensure they wouldn't poke through. Enough to get a couple of threads to bite and in figerglass & they are tight.

I predrilled with a bit stopper as well. I'll try and check over the weekend for you!

yeah, that's nice viking. i'm sure it comes in handy.

How about on the underside of the storage compartment cover(s)? Malibu provides this, though theirs are solid plastic, not netting. My buddy stores his ski rope in one side; wakeboard rope in the other side. Always knows where each of those are and they never tangle with anything. (The example I reference is a V-drive, but this could apply to DD also). I've considered this, but haven't gone through with it.

That sounds like a cool idea and one that wouldn't be too hard to do. Can you possibly get some pics of this.
