Transom Spider Cracks from swim deck brackets 2002 Mobius V. Anyone Else?
My transom is cracking where the swim deck mounts go into the boat. I know the boats for those years had this issue. I believe I am the second owner of the boat, but not sure. I was not aware the warranty could be transfered either. The swim deck moves or flexes up and down at the transom when you are on it. The cracks on the passenger side of the boat are larger than the drivers side. The screws will not hold in place, they are stripped out. If there is a backing plate on the boat the screws are not threading to it. My concern is they are the bottom screws, an the cracks are very large at the top. It makes me wander if the mount are secure enough to hold with someone on it. I do not let any sit on deck when its out of the water. I have heard that other boats have taken on water through the cracks when they get bigger.
Anyone Else having issues on their 2000,2001,2002 Moomba Mobius V. Online researching and had seen some other Moomba owners talkng about it for these years.
This is a copy, of part of the letter I sent to Roger @customer support at Moomba per his request

Conversation with Skiers Choice Last week
Berg, The hull warranty is Lifetime. This is kind of Why I am pursuing it . Repairs from what I am told have been anywhere from $800.00 to $2500.00.
The swim deck being loose is common. Mine moves alot. I asked Skiers Choice on the phone if they still had the brackets available. They said Yes and it would be cheaper to order them through a dealership. Now they said the brackets were, but Not sure if they meant the mounts for the boat as well. To get the play out all together you would need to replace both. Alot of people on line shimmed them or drilled the holes bigger where the pins go in and put in larger pins. I will call my friend at the dealer and find out if the mounting brackets are available and let you know. Rick
