Where to order new seat skin's for older Nautique's??

[DBattt]

Need to replace the back seat on my 2002 Nautique...where is the best place to order replacement skins?

Are they hard to put on yourself or better to have them put on professionally?

The link in your post above for Christine's Marine is just what you need.

I second Christine's. Great workmanship and communication customer service.

how difficult is it to replace the skins yourself?

Not so difficult. Depending on which ones. Start with simple surfaces.
1. Leave the skins 30 min in a black plastic box in the sun, so they get flexible.
2. Get a youtube tutorial on upholstery. You will need pliers (better if flat duck-mouth), hammer, nails, stapler. It´s a matter or maintaining tension

I bought an observer/passenger seat skin for my'02 from my dealer and it was less expensive than Christine's. I believe they got it from the factory. It fit perfectly and the colors were perfect. It is easy to do yourself, but I recommend that you have someone help you stretch it on tight. I used stainless steel staples to avoid corrosion.

Not very difficult, but be preparred to take your time...it does not move very quickly in my experience. When I checked last year I could not get skins from the factory for my 06, had to go through Christine's. The quality and colors were perfect and I have more on order right now. Remember to start from the center and work your way out to the edges.
