I tried welding mine (f-32) and it would not work due to casting porosity and salt intrusion.

I was able to source new ones from the manufacturer (Buck Algonquin) using the casting number of the side of the strut.

My diver showed up today to clean my bottom, and told me I have a broken strut on my 1974 F32.

Where did you guys find one? What Buck Algonquin casting is it? Who do I call @ Beacon marine?

BUCKNEKKID's new strut was a different "trianguluar" design that looks much stronger. Is this available for tehe F32. If so, I'd have to drill new holes, and fill the old (not trivial).

Sounds like I have a lot of work ahead of me. Any other advice?

I have an old one in the back yard,,,, hahahaaa Take a lot of measurements,, width, angle, etc. the strut will give you the same location, comes with a cutlass bearing installed and the angles must match. Location holes dont really matter. Use all new hardware!!!!!

Are these "standard" F36 Struts (pix from Buckknekkid's boat on BoatDesign.net) ?????
