Title: U-channel for motor well splashboard
Post by: ajohnson on March 23, 2019, 12:45:50 PM

Hello. Can anyone point me to a source for the plastic U-channel that the motor well splashboard fits into on a 2004 Aquasport Explorer 215? My channel is 3/4" by 3/4" and accepts a 1/2 inch board. Two 9" pieces needed. Thank you. Art

Do you mean something like this (scroll to lower right corner)?

 If so...
My original pieces were a pretty corroded and I did not have the factory splash guard so I fabricated a new one from Starboard. The channel was purchased from Home Depot and trimmed to size.

You can see the originals in this pic.

It is aluminum channel stock. Located in the same bin as threaded rods and flat stock.
