Today I removed my Silent Thunder swim platform on my 88 311. The two u-bolts on the top side of the platform were stuck pretty bad while the bottom two pulled right out. I ended up breaking the top two trying to beat them out. Formula had puddled some of the green pre-plexis stuff on the transom before they bolted the platform on and it gummed up the threads and made it near impossible to get out.
Does anyway have any extra stainless u-bolts. They are the ones without the bigger washer looking flange. Im gonna ask the guy parting out the 311 but Im not sure if he would want to fight with them or include them with his platform.
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
Do you have a picture of the broken one. I have some stainless hardware that I toke of the 312 hull before I sold it.
When are you planning on putting in? I will be in tomorrow,hopefully. You have my cell,call me about the u-bolts and i'll check my garage at home.Jeff

Hey Chris do you have a pic of the bolsters if your selling them.

This is the company Im gonna get mine from. You need to go through a distributor. They are about $40 each for the 5/8 ones.
