I just received my Bow Fill in Cushions, has anybody installed these, not sure if I like the fit & finish, the dealer didn't have one with this kit as it's different than if you factory ordered this.

They are super simple to install. 1st open your engine compartment. 2nd Stick the cushions in. DONE. That where they will end up anyway.

LOL! I keep mine under the bow seats. The wife when asked, never wanted me to set them up. So one time I didn't ask and just set them up, now she loves them and I have to do it everytime. :roll:

Anyway, I ordered mine with the boat, and the fit and finish is good, nice tight fit and perfect color match.

I keep mine under the bow seats too, but they've only been used a couple of times and they take up ALL the room under the bow seats. We're going to come up with a different approach on this.

We do like them when we use them, though, and they do match the boat perfectly.

Yeah, I lost a snap out cushion in the first 20 hours. Wasn't snapped and flew out of the boat when I wasn't looking. I attached a length of fishing line to the replacement to prevent another escape. I keep toying with the idea of adding velcro fasteners, those snaps are a pain.

On my H200, the bow fill in cushions are stored where your feet would be if you were sitting in the driver's and passengers seat. They are fastened in with some straps and quick release buckles. They blend in so well that it took us a couple of weeks before we even realized we had them. They take up no space that can be used for useful storage!

Mike- I keep mine down in that storage under the helm and under that trap door. You have to fold them somewhat to get them through cushion/storage door but they lay nice and flat at the bottom. I'm thinking about adding velcro to my cushions and the starboard panels. I'm afraid the cushions will blow off if I ever forget to put them away when trailering. Unlike my old 200, they are not one piece.

I keep mine at home in the garage. Never used it and most likely never will.

Thanks Cincy, I'll check that. We don't use them often, but when we do we're glad we have them.

We use ours all the time. Wife and kids love hanging up there while we're anchored.

Could you shoot me a pic of that? IM, or whatever. I planned on keeping them in the driver side trap door, but yours sounds much better.

I just pulled her out of the garage this weekend! I have to give her a good sprucing up since she's up for sale. I will take some pictures one night this week.

Sorry it took so long for me to post (the wife had our camera at work)

As you can see, this is a pretty good place where they are out of the way and don't take up any useful storage.
