Your best bet is to take the boat to Gene at the Hook, Line and Sinker..He will either fix it or tell you how to get it fixed.. mac Came out of town for a tourney and broke ours first day of pre fish. Called the Hook and took it to Gene the next morning. He had it fixed before we finished breakfast.
