I have a 2009 22Ve and for two years have been w/o the bow filler cushion. The dealer here went out of business and the nearest to me is actually the factory so that won't work.
There is a fiberglass repair shop.. actually a few, but i had an idea on how to handle this project a little differently. I just hope the idea works.
I have made a cutout of 1/2" plywood, the good stuff traced and cut to fit as the bow filler, then thought maybe kill two birds with one stone as they say. I built a base and walls for the filler and plan to but a ballast bag inside but it will be hidden inside the box and will plumb in with the existing W711 that is under the front seats.
Now the first thing to accomplish was a design that would accomplish my goals, second is that since it is wood it is very desireable to waterproof so that this is a one time project. I had a truck accessory shop quote me a price on fully encasing the box (Inside and outside) with Rhinoline so that no wood will show, I have this in my truck bed and love it. Then i have lined up an upholstery shop to finish the project with doing a cushion and material to match the rest of the interior.
The final part of it is to get the sac that will best fit in the box and then plumb the system to piggy back off of the existing 711. MIKE!!! this is where you come in my friend!!
And as is customary i have attached photos.
If there is any advice or other ideas please send them my way.
