This Boat Design (New Design Dinette) we have incorporates a Fuel Compartment Box that is part of the Cockpit configuration.
This means any access to the Outboard Assisted Lift Bracket bolt & nut are through the transom and into the cockpit fiberglass.
Whoever may have installed this current outboard spring lift device, over tightened one of the bots where there are stress cracks in the cockpit fiberglass that incorporate this Fuel Tank Cabinet not part of the interior of the Cabin.
I have attached these available CD Brackets for strengthening the new installment. However, the angle bracket as shown will not fit because the fuel compartment box leaves only an inch or so to access the current bolt and nut.
It appears there is a void between the transom and the inner workings of the cockpit fiberglass. Would I be mistaken to think the only support this outboard spring assist lift has, is the cockpit fiberglass and not the transom fiberglass?
