Thought this topic deserved it's own thread.
in summary ~ I just bought my buddies 2003 270 FV with 2 large cracks in the radar arch (see below).
I spoke with a Rinker rep last Friday who was very helpful. I emailed him these photos late yesterday and this is the email he just sent me (note less than a 24 hour response time!).
"I asked the company that built this and they said it looks like a early version without a drain hole at the bottom. We found out some times moisture sill form on the inside and it will run to the bottom and freeze, and this can crack it out. They recommend a small hole to be drilled at the lowest point so moisture can get out. As for the repair they told me the same thing I told you. It will need to have the bondo removed back far enough so the section can be welded, then re-bondoed and then painted."
Hope this helps,
DaveSo far one of the best companies I have had the pleasure of dealing with. this says a ton about the Rinker Boat Company and it's staff and products!
