Ooops.

Something you never want to hear from a Surgeon during an operation while you are on the operating table or your wife as she is mowing the lawn with a 54” zero turn mower around our boat!

Long story short-she bumped the port side jet and broke the control deflector arm attachment and possibly the control cable support strut.

I thought I would canvas the group and garner any suggestions (and sympathy) before a trip to partzilla.

This may be an opportunity to upgrade (guilt is like an open check book!-I know, that’s just mean-just getting over the trauma-I guess). What do you think Will Owen????

The 2007 AR230 never cost me a dime in repairs so investing in some improvements would not be out of the question.

Not a good premature end to the boating season but possibly a chance to give back to a boat that has given so much to us over the years.

Thanks

Partzilla is probably your best bet, definitely could have been worse

Well, at least she made it clear which part was broken. She could have just nicked it, bent something, and you might not have found out until on the water and your boat turned in circles or something.

Here providing sympathy.
