Grant - Here is the info i have.  I went through mmimarine.com  They have everything you need.  Switches, mounting brackets, actuators...everything.  I went with the Lenco stroke fast actuator .  Part number is LEN 15130-001.  With wiring, they ahve all the diagrams and quick connects to make it very easy.  For me, I wired the switches directly to my battery with an inline fuse.  Seems to work great.

Grant... I would use black HDPE and make you gates.  Then use lenco actuators and go from there.  Added pics of the switches I added near the dash.  Each switch controls a gate.

Number 9 - I bought it a while ago for a different project...bought it off ebay.  It was just 1/4" plastic.  I wanted something that would flex and mold to the back of the boat.  Worked pretty well.  I know the pics of them are not flattering, but no one will ever see them.  My carpet pulled off pretty easy and I am going to take adhesive and glue it right over the top of these backing brackets.  Going to put the boat in the water and make sure there are no leaks first!

Where did you get your hinges and Lenco's From?

Rigger, did you just screw the hinges into hull?  Or did you have bolts with backing plates?
