Well good news and bad news.

Cobalt can still provide the mount...

bad news: it is a kit and I get the ski pole as well. and it is 867.99 pluss tax.

So guess I will be spending $700 more on the ski pole than I wanted to. Anyone ever drop their pole in the lake let me know got one for sale now.

May havd to get sliderule to fabricate one...

Out boating this weekend and stepped across the ski pole cover and it snapped off.

Looking closer the whole ski pole bracket is bent and that is why the weld broke.

Thought I found one on ebay but they had just sold it.

Part number appears to be ...

Just walk, (I know that is a easy thing to say and a hard thing to do), Wait until later this fall October or November and I am betting they will more than willing to make that price work.

While I am fixing the drain issue. THought I would try and knock out another little item.

Yeah it is a brass fitting. Any special thread compound I need to worry about putting back on if I take it off?

Lakeshore did all the previous owners work. No complsints, except the invoices looked expensive in the records i have. Though that is relative.

It all started when I noticed the build pump start running frequently. I thought it was just all the water from the coolers going to the bilge (pretty dumb I know)
