Tantrum Bolster Help
 

I assume my fellow proud Tantrum owners have had this issue with the bottom cushion coming loose on their Bolsters, anyone come up with a good solid fix ?

This is the cushion that fills the gap between the back and the seat. One of mine was loose and appeared to be epoxy and mat originally and I just added more epoxy and mat but suspect there may have been a better method like adding a plate or something. Hope you find a good fix as I believe this may be a common problem and I am sure others have found a better method of make a strong attachment.

My seats are made of the starboard and I haven't had this problem.

I don't think the problem is what they are made of but how they are assembled. The bottom cushion on mine which is also composite has the attachment seam covered in fiberglass. This one on Red Riders boat doesn't appear to have the fiberglass over the seam to provide support for the cushion.

yeah, I looked at mine today and it is composite and is also laminted in fiberglass for stregth.
just reassemble and laminate it in fiberglass....

Thanks for checking, when we get some warm weather I will plan a trip to Red Riders place and help him add some fiberglass and maybe a support if there is room.
