Replacement of Cracked Deck

Postby shannon thompson » Wed Aug 01, 2018 9:33 am

[On a 1996 DAUNTLESS of unspecified length] the fiberglass has cracked where one walks between the helm and walk-thru windshield.

[Give] suggestions on how to replace the whole fiberglass section.

Call Boston Whaler customer service. You may be able to get a replacement deck molded fiberglass assembly if they still have the molds. I expect that method of remedy will be very expensive.

If the OEM part is no longer available, remove the component you have to use as a plug to make a mold to make a new part. This may also cost a fortune,

Can you explain why you don’t want to just repair the existing molded component?
