have a 1999 fastec 353 and the forward deck hatch adjusters came apart from the hatch. formula says theres nowat to readhere these, and bomoar says there SONICALLY attached and cant be repair but have to be replaced any ideas ?!?!?!

Did the flat end just release itself from the lid or did the arm break somewhere?

WTF does "sonically attached" mean. Sonic relates to sound.

Must be a "clap on, clap off" eh!?


Now here this,, all 353 owners,,, no clapping allowed on board!!!!!!!!

Be interseting to hear what Bomar means by that.

"she's got the clap"?
just keep your mind on the reactor control panel
a man in your position who can't spell makes me nervous.

It's all just acronyms around here.

So do we want to know what "Oh FU@k" means ?

nothing broke the round part that is SONICALLY attached to the plexiglass just came off both the forward hatches.

I have never had that happen,usually the arm breaks and the entire hatch has to be replaced. Surely some type of glue would bond the part back to the lid.Wouldn't have to be all that strong as you should only need the hatches open while not running. If you try to run the boat with them open,you risk breaking some of the adjuster parts,and then you have an expensive fix. With all the hi-tech adhesives now available,something should work. I would certainly try it,hatches are not cheap.

So what was the fix here bern....did you get it worked out? We just had the bracket that is "sonically " attached break where the ram is pinned into it.

i used a 2 part epoxy to re-adhere it
