Default Where can I find a replacement retainer...

There are these plastic "guides" that retain the fiberglass form that the rear seats sit on that are now breaking. Where can I find a replacement? I cannot find them anywhere.

The Maxum line was shut down in 2008 by Brunswick who was the parent company. Most parts of a boat were third party supplied but after all these years exact replacement parts are not available. Custom pieces such as what you’re looking for will not exist.

Thank you for your reply! I'm aware of them shutting down. I was just hoping someone was making replacement parts. I'll have to make it myself. Thanks again!!

The business model for aftermarket manufacturing of marine parts only supports items used on all boat such as propulsion systems. Boats just don’t sell the quantities like the automotive industry to support brand/model reproduction parts.

You'll need to fabricate something. Aluminum would be the easiest work with.

Definitely! My buddy owns a commercial 3D printing company and he's going to see what he can make for me, but I will probably end up fabricating something on my own. with aluminum. It should be really simple.
