Well get the boat home to find the strut isnt there, call the shop and he glued it" I USED PERMANET ADHESIVE " in no bolts no zip ties nothing and its gone must of fallen out on the freeway, so i need to make a new strut what a fn pain in the ass this is going to be work completely backwards , and build a strut from thin air to match all my running i already own..
Do you see the remnant of whatever permanent adhesive he used? There is a reason I ask, but if it's there the next question would be: when did he apply it and why didn't it stick? I feel your pain and hope your Stu job turns out better than mine.Quote:

Be sure to get good help when it comes to placement of the engine and strut.
thats the problem all holes in the bottom of the boat are still there ...
yes there was a quarter size glob of some black stuff .. the strut base is 4" x 8" so it had about 1/20th coverage
