Remove the bonnet

Some of you might remember the "bonnet" (sail tie) holding Santeria's engine cover, as seen here from a picture from fall 2011.


Upon further inspection, the plastic serrated wedge-like piece of plastic that held the cover in place was striped and completely unreliable. Evinrude/Johnson wanted 35$ so I went with a 2$ alternative. As seen below, I used an ZP lockable hinge. After a few new holes in the motor housing and cover, installation was complete.
