TODO
Attachment - Durability
- “I got a new life raft and had the bottom holder fixed and reinforced. I strapped it in and put in the new life raft but it is moving quite a bit. We also installed extra webbing which supports the tray as some boats had them break and lost their raft.”
- “They drilled some holes when they reinforced it, ours just started tearing apart across the bottom and the life raft and the case got destroyed.”
- “My old raft got cracked and beat up on a trip”
Drainage
- “During servicing, they brought to our attention that there was no drain holes on the side it is sitting on. The clam shell was full of water so very heavy lift and could also get into the vacuum pack of the raft.”
Location
- “I saw some of the old threads where people moved it to different areas, fabricated brackets, etc,”
