Hi!
Newest of newbies here.
I was directed here by a friend. I am currently restoring a 1967 Donzi Ski-Sporter.
In 1987 a previous owner upgraded to a 310hp Volvo engine/290a drive.
I took the transom shield assembly off yesterday (as the last piece of hardware on the hull) in preparation for taking the boat to the painter.
I found that when they installed the new outdrive, the hole that had been cut originally, caused the middle two mounting bolts to be at the very edge of the cutout, such that the transom was effectively "crushed" when they tightened those 2 bolts.
I am looking at a couple of solutions, both of which would be aided greatly by having the template that is used for a new installation.
I have access to a large format plotter, so I could print to actual size if someone had an electronic version of this template.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Bill
