2016 230 bow filler

[IrishLew]

Happy summer everyone. We just traded in our 2010 210 for a 2016 230. Loving everything with the upgrade so far! Question. The boat did not have the front bow filler cushion and seems to be missing the small removable rear bench section. Does anyone know if those can still be purchased, and if so, point be in the right direction?? Thanks!

C & S is one of the best Nautique skin upholstery shops. If you're not having luck getting an OEM piece give them a shout.

They did an entire new set of skins for my 2006 220.

Nautique Parts shot me a quote last week for my '16 G23 Bow Filler Cushion:
The bow filler cushion is part #A-44-6220 (Interior 11. Bow Filler Cushion) and cost $725 plus shipping.

Still out on the fence if I want one, what has the experience been for you? Love it, can't live with out it, or it always seems to be in the way.
I would really appreciate any feed back or opinions here, thanks.
IrishLew, what were you able to find out?

We always get the bow filler cushion with our boats, we put it in place and it never gets removed.
Riding on the bow is popular and the bow filler makes it a larger, more comfortable area.

We can't live w/o ours… sorry. It's a must for lounging up front.

I have both cushions for mine and don’t use either. The rear one especially is a waste because that’s right where you step in and out to get to the swim platform.

The score tallies at 2 1/2 pro & 1 con. Appreciate the input thus far...

[BasaltRMK]

Add 1 to the pro side. The bow filler cushion in our G21 makes the bow a whole different animal, perfect for lounging, kids love it, etc...

We have never used ours - both are sitting on the shelf in the garage, since they seem to be in the way when we put the pole supports in and the cover on. But, given the feedback, maybe I need to try the bow filler cushion...

Rear cushion never used. Bow cushion almost always. I just throw the bow cushion over the side cushions when poles are in. You can also get that bigger rear cushion Over the engine bay that I never bothered with and never would.

anyone have a g23 bow fill cushion that they want to sell?

[s_kelley2000]

The only time the bow filler cushion got removed from its position in my Super Sport and now 230 was for cover poles or to walk to the front to drop an anchor. In those instances I just put in on the side or front cushion or on it's side.

The rear bench on my 230 has the flip over step in the middle that is SeaDek on one side and a cushion on the other but I almost always have it set in the walk through position. I also have the sun pad filler cushion but haven't used it yet.

Scooter G before you pull the trigger on the bow filler cushion, you might want to get a quote on the skin from C&S. If you are a little handy I bet you could easily cut a piece of King Star Board or another similar material to size, source some marine foam and then install the skin. Not sure it would save you all that much unless shipping is crazy for the complete cushion.

s_kelley2000, thanks Bud, the thought actually went through my mind today when this topic surfaced again. May do. Just got a bazillion projects ahead of it, but it's sitting in a box in my head for now...

I am looking to sell bow filler cushions from a 2008 SAN210 and another from a 2005 Air Nautique 206. Both are like new as we never used them. Please email me at DucatiJill@gmail.com if you are interested. Thank you!
