Galley Nav Station Splash Guard

Before

We have seen pics of other Calibers that add a splash guard of some sort in between the galley stove and nav station.  We like to eat.  I like to cook.  Cooking is messy at times.  It seemed like a really good idea.

After

Tom tried to get the plexiglass sourced locally in KC but most plastics places didn't want anything to do with a project this small.  He located a place on the internet and ordered a piece of 9x22 plexiglass 3/8" thick, bronze colored, with 2" radius on the top outer edge, 1/2" radius on remaining edges. 

Ready for install

We measured.  We eyeballed it.  We marked it and then we drilled the holes in the plexiglass.  We measured some more and eyeballed some more and then drill the holes for the cap bolts.  Boom!  Next thing you know, it was in.  "More bacon than the pan can handle!"

Galley side- cap bolts are key

We are very happy with the way this turned out.

What's for dinner?

We set it back a touch on the outer edge so it wouldn't be a catching point when climbing into the nav station in foulies.  Additionally, we didn't take it all the way up because we didn't want to block all breeze flowing through to the nav station.  Plus we wanted to be able to maneuver the fan in different directions. 

It passes the gimble stove test as well
