After fitting this kit to my 210, along with the engine divider support kits, the factory aluminum parts gave out quickly. I tried doubling up the reinforcements (also from wakemakers) and they all bent just the same. This thread will show you the $25 fix that has been bulletproof so far.
You’ll need:
2 sheets (24”x48”) of 3/4” Thick Plywood (for you guys in the Midwest, these are about $11 each at Menards)
———note that I plan to replace the plywood with polycarbonate sheeting (1/2” thick) later this summer. The wood is merely a “weekend saver” fix for me.
2 Pool Noodles (the thin ones) 48” long
The plywood needs to have the corners trimmed to fit in the compartment. Using a cardboard template, I found that cutting a 5” x 5” corner (45 degree trim) from each corner fits perfect. You’ll need some sort of saw to do this.
Simply drop these pieces in next to your factory dividers and then tuck the pool noodle between the factory hard tank and the plywood to hold it in place and to prevent the ballast from sliding into the crevice and lifting the wood.
