2004 Rinker 192 Captiva,

Looks like something aftermarket or custom

I just ordered two of them for my 2004 232 off of Ebay at "parts1d414".  $60 each.  Made by SSI.  Called a coaming box.  Great Lakes Skipper is $100 each.

I just had a mini heart attack. I paid a custom marine shop $400!!! To re create it from starboard. I may cry. I swear neither place had them when I originally was looking for them. I searched through every page on Great Lake skipper and all. Oh well. Seriously a huge bummer

@strictlybliznes , the way yours is built it will last forever! Very nice.

I've gotta agree with aero, it may have cost a bit more, but it's way nicer.  That cheap plastic insert thing is one of the few complaints I've got.  Mine has some yellowing on it around the cupholders, which are also plastic.  None of it has broken like yours did so far.  And, mine doesn't have a light in it- they're small leds that are lower in the hull.

Bottom line, I def wouldn't be bummed and would consider it money well spent.  Sort of like the $110 I spent on the 4 cast and chromed bilge vents that replaced the falling apart plastic ones.  No regrets.  (except that now I have a target for the plastic insert!   )

The eBay one looks flimsy

Discussed here:

I went with 4 of the Defender ones shown in the picture.  These are basically covers, so I used the original plastic part underneath a couple of them to have something to connect the vent tubes to.  What was left of the original plastic center was cut out leaving just the rim and the part going through the hole.  It worked pretty well- they're a really nice piece, not just a thin piece of stamped sheet metal.  Def want that because almost no one will ever see them tucked under the edge of the sunpad! 

Also, if you go this route, no fasteners are included.  Hit Fastenal or wherever for some screws, but make sure to get 300 series stainless, not just "stainless".  The 400 series stainless that is typical at home improvement stores will rust in a couple years.  They won't rust to bits like zinc coated steel, but they'll get dots of orange on them.
