Does anyone know where to get a replacement flare holder? It's this thing that has a cover that twists off and holds some flares (ignore the goofy kid).

It used to be orange... bright orange... it's now just falling apart and has turned white and is all chaulky... and people will make fun of it in Atlantic City if they see it... so much so that I don't think I'll go unless I can replace it.

Anyone replace this thing before or know where to get it?
 
Painted mine with Fusion Plastic Paint. Looks brand new although its really outa site on the 450DA. Hope this helps a little. JC

I don't have one on my 450... is this a "cool mod"
 
I actually have three flare kits. One is in that tube (which is in easy reach), one is in the ditch bag (that one would rival DC's fireworks on the 4th), and one in the dinghy....

The tube on deck is nice... easy reach... easy to get to... Just looks like poop right now.
 
Is that area all hollow and 12" deep? Seems like you could fit a whole cabinet in there if that is the case...

That area is probably more like 20" deep... there is a tall waterproof locker door behind where my son is sitting. I store all the cleaning brushes (long poles) in there... and a bunch of other stuff like grilling stuff, soaps, power tools (there is an electric outlet in there also), etc...
 
So that may be the eventual final selling point for me on the 480DB someday - the storage!
 
Turtle, Well actually its a chart thingy-do but it looks like what Gary pictured. Just left on seat compartment. Took it off (cover) painted it with Fusion and it looked brand new. JC
