Sliding Door R21-EC

[Stevan47]

Dear fellow Tug Nuts: My vessel, 'Rhapsody', is a 2010 model R21-EC. I wish to screw a s/s lifebuoy holder to the outside of the wheelhouse sliding door, just below the window. When I am underway, it is a good place to secure my SOLAS life buoy and easy to reach in event of an emergency. Before I start drilling pilot holes for the screws, can anyone tell me if the door is solid core GRP or cellular in construction. The point I make is if I drill holes and insert screws in a cellular construction they will not hold and over time may work loose. If it is solid material, well and good. Your collective thoughts, please? Kind regards from Down Under. Stevan

Hello Stevan,

There is Nida Core in the R-21 cabin door.

Thanks,

.. does my 2005 R21 Classis have a nida core door ? has anyone put a larger window in the door and a matching window in the rear wall off the pilothouse similar to the 21EC ? Rob
