Re: 2009 Mako 18 LTS Fiberglass Problems
As a follow up they are reattaching the center console under warranty. My boat also weighed heavy and as a result is under the trailer recall. They are providing a new axle, tires, brakes, and tongue. So far I'm pretty satisfied. Just sad to not have the boat this weekend!
Additional follow-up they fixed everything under warranty and even upgraded the courtesy lights to LED.
The center console was originally not attached with any screws!
They put in about 9-10 screws all around and sealed everything up nice and tight. Haven't had any other issues since.
Another thing - make sure you get a 1.5" plug for the floor. The scupper valve doesn't always close right and it will start letting water on to the deck. After we get done netting our bait I pull the plug from behind the cooler, drive for a minute to let the water drain and then plug her back up.
