What this video covers
Mike fabricates a custom, swing-out fish cleaning table for his C&C 39 using a scrap piece of Starboard measuring 17.5 by 42 inches.0:15 To prevent fish waste from accumulating, he installs a perimeter railing and drills drainage holes along the outer edge.4:40 He uses a center punch and a 3/8-inch bit to countersink mounting holes, ensuring all screw heads sit flush with the surface to maintain a smooth, hygienic workspace.2:38 The table attaches to the boat's railing via hinges and rail clamps, secured with nylon lock nuts to prevent vibration-induced loosening.6:03 To support the outer edge while in use, he constructs hinged legs that swing into position against the lower rail.7:20 When not in use, the entire assembly folds down against the hull to clear the deck for sailing.7:20 Beyond fish processing, the table provides additional surface area for drinks and meals.7:29
