HELP! WTB motor mount plates from hull

[BumbleBee]

Hey guys,

I'm really hoping someone can help me. I am looking for the plates that are fiber-glassed into the hull for the motor mounts to be bolted to. Unfortunately the threads in my hull are stripped for my front motor mount.




'96 XP

Thanks!

Andrew

Ouch, Probably would have to make something or heli-coil that one.

Is this a conversion ski of some sort? Curious as to what im actually looking at in the picture as it appears to have a modified mount.

I think you're right... No one seems to be able to help me. I ended up making my own out of aluminum bar stock. Tried the Helicoils but the plate/holes are too corroded.

This is a stock '96 XP. The picture shows the mounting plate the is fiber-glassed into the hull by Seadoo. The front motor mount gets bolted to it.

Here are some more pics to better explain...








I've decided to start a thread documenting my project in hope it could help someone else if they have a similar problem. If you have a chance, please check it out!!
