I'm normally not one to randomly post in forums but I am STUCK! I recently obtained a 1995 Sea Rayder Z-16 with a Mercury Sport Jet 120 Motor. The classic disaster occurred before I obtained the boat, of starting it without water and causing a backfire. Of course this means the ride plate was mangled. I attached pictures. I need any and all advice on what to do here. I can't seem to find a dealer that can locate the new ride plate, so I'm going to attempt to bend it back into shape. Is this a good idea? Any pre-warnings I should know of. Any safety steps or any do's and do not's would be greatly appreciated!
