Bow filler cushion cracked (2009)

[MonctonR1]

2009 AR 230 and between kids jumping in off dock and other pressure the plastic bottom has cracked. This is a first Yamaha for me was there supposed to be some sort of brace under the bow filler or it just rests on the edges of the fiberglass? Other question is now that it’s cracked what do I do?

Unlikely you will find OEM replacement, and if you did it will be $275 or more. The only option is to have one made. It wasn't designed for people to be jumping on it.

You could probably very carefully pull the staples and then use the old base as a template to cut a new one out of starboard. Then restaple the old cover and padding. Make sure to use stainless staples.
