Engine Storage Tray

[moombahighrider]

Some of you have asked about the Malibu tray I ordered. Turns out it didn't drop right in the way I was hoping. The tray I ordered was for an 07 wakesetter 247, but I didn't know that at the time. I had to do major modifications to it to make it work. See below:

I had to cut the sides off to make it the correct width.

Then I found that it was too deep and needed to be shortened. I did that by cutting the back wall in half and riveting it back together shorter.

After that, I needed to put the sides back on it so stuff stays put. More riveting.

A little more cutting to get it all dialed in.

Overall, I'm happy with it and really like having the convenient storage option.

my contact stated that the item # was a 07 247 wakesetter and was out of stock and discontinued

They have them in stock at Malibu marine in kelowna, bc. Shipping was a killer.

You could have vacuum formed a piece of plastic with all that work.

Yes, but I live in the middle of no where. It's DIY or nothing.

How much would something like that run?

A wooden jig, a piece of plastic, your oven and a vacuum cleaner. Cheap.

I'm all ears, but that piece is bigger than a standard oven.

[moombahighrider]

That is what I was going to say too...

Well you will have to rig a few heaters or an old oven element.
Check YT for DIY vacuum forming.
