Hi folks, long time no talk! Well, I just installed a new engine in my Bu. Yes, a new engine! got I got tired sick of my cilinder heads failing and I my old engine in my wakesetter 2010 had 2500 hours on it ! so I'm a happy camper with a 2010 with cero horas on it . HOWEVER after I finish installing the new engine and everything went ok, I find out that the screw that goes from the axis of the tower and bolt into the silver pipe is broken! yes, bad luck I guess? the screw that broke is on that has a "hole" in the head (where the screw of the axis of the tower get in to hold together the tower) has died. first question is, where the heck can I get that bolt with that "O" shape?? second question, has anyone has ever taken apart the tower??? any recomendation?? It does not seem like it is happening a lot, so must be bad luck. My machanic, blames the 6 exile that I have on the tower...the reality is that I need to fix it and honestrly don't know where to start or to get the spare part I need. I guess is I take it all apart should be able to replace it. put it back together must be a nice challenge. so ANY HELP or advise (besides do not put speakers on the tower) will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Gabriel
