Mobius V 2000 tower mount
Can anyone help me identify and source a replacement tower mount for my Mobius V 2000?
The internal thread is stripped on one of the mounts.

That is a difficult one due to the age of the boat. You may have the best luck pulling the mount off, bringing it to a metal working/machine shop along with the bolt. Have them drill it out and heli-coil in a new threaded insert. Or maybe they would weld the hole shut and then drill and tap it. Only other thing I can think of is contacting a dealer but sourcing parts that old is not easy.
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Could you just use a through-bolt with a nut and washers? Are you talking about the center bolt that holds the tower on orrrrr?

I believe he's talking about the center hole in this mount. For the quick release to lower the tower.
I'd seriously pull it off the hull and bring it to a machine shop for a fix.So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Tower mount
Yes, that picture is correct....it's the tower mount which has stripped threads....
As it seems they are no longer available, i will have it re-threaded with an insert.
Thanks for the advice.Dave Longbotham
