Wildboating

I discovered why i had som much junk getting in my AC line last year, the intake grate below boat has one of the fins broken off and another bent upwards.  Couldnt imagine how it happend but none the less it is there.  Do you know what they are called or who may carry it?

If the screw have corroded away then there is an area for water to get into the fiberglass core. This should be sealed........ Just say'n.

yes, I'd just pay to have the whole thing replaced. I wish I did that before mine hit the water!!

good catch, before launch.

True comment re the corroded screw, I was thinking more of the securing to hull. I was able to redo mine and seal her up over the winter so no seepage this year I hope.
