Where/how do I get the reinforcement straps/bolt kit they created for early waves? The boat I just bought will need this. There’s a little stress crack near the strap I need to repair then reinforce. If unavailable is there a design sheet or specs so I can fab 2 of these these myself? I found the tech instructions on the wave support files section of the site but dint see part numbers etc. |

No longer offered. Basic concept... you can get from the instruction. Strap over the hull to hold the insert in... or the strap can become the new bow tang too. |

Thank you Matt. I ended up speaking with your counterpart (who had an awful cold that day!) and he gave me the old part number and suggested if I wanted one to search online/ebay as a dealer might have one out there. Part #38120201 he said. I found a listing if I want it from a dealer. He actually suggested I gflex the tiny crack and leave it alone - since the crack is small and to the left/below the eye he said it's not failing in the way the kit was designed to address. He also said they failed quickly and pulled out and I should just g flex it, touch it up w white pain and let it be/keep an eye on it and try to avoid hole drilling in hull to install the kit. Let me know if you have a different viewpoint though. |

That all works. If the insert does pull out you need to do the strap. G Flex is not going to hold it in. |
