Thread: Busted Cowling

Maybe check with junkyards or local boat stores ?? I know that one of our local boat dealerships used to have a "pile" out in back of their building, where wrecked, burned, or otherwise useless boats/motors were scrapped. Don't know if they still do, or if any in your area do the same ... but, it only takes a phone call to find out.

For what they want for a new one a good automotive body shop should be able to reconstruct it for much less.

First thing I would do is check my homeowner policy, see what deductible is if any and see if they would cover it. Like Clint said if out of pocket a good body shop that works with glass and polymer should be able to rebuild a lot cheaper. That cowl should be made of the newer polymer material rather than glass.

It's in pieces and looking online for a replacement didn't help much, any suggestions on where to look? From what I'm seeing complete replacements running around 5-700 bucks and that's a little pricy for me but I wanna replace it at a reasonable cost!! Any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated!!
