I am asking for help with photos for an 86 Rhodes. My boat was
apparently hit
in the marina and I have a damaged motor mount. I was able to salvage most
of the damaged parts and replicate them from existing patterns of the old
parts.
However, the LOWER STOPS were missing. So at this point I have no idea what
I need to do to replicate these parts. Photos will be very helpful.
Measurement would also be greatly appreciated. I am guessing any boat from
an 82 to an 89 may have a very similar set up. Ric I am glad you can now
send pictures with your computer. You mentioned that we have the same set
up. What type of material did Stan use for the stops? Stan said, he no
longer makes this type of mount and cannot furnish parts. So I must rely on
your help and my modest skills to be able to sail next season.
It must have been a lot of force on the collision as I found three 1/4
inch stainless steel bolts bent to 90 degrees and one bolt was sheared into
two pieces.
Thanks for your help,
