Here is the scenario. I Installed a wakeboard pylon (pole) and screwed the plate to the floor.  Had beginner wakeboarder (big guy) trying to get up and snapped the cable and pulled the plate from the floor. Now the floor board is coming up 3 inches behind the in-floor cooler about 18 across.  The plate is 18 inches behind the cooler.  I would like to repair this but don't know where to begin.  Can I remove cooler (don't know how?) then use screws or liquid nails to reglue floor board? Should I lift carpeting and replace lose floor board or is there some other way to repair?  I do want to reinstall the pylon plate. Maybe there is a way to use the pylon plate to secure floor board?  Not sure what to do, will this hurt the integrity of the boat if I do nothing?  Any help would be appreciated.......Thanks Harold

Sorry to hear of incident...but replace the floor!!!  I had replaced mine about 5 years ago.  If u don't want to do it or have time....take to a marina and or dealer.  U might save money by removing seats ans stuff yourself.  Just buy new carpeting by the roll....make sure if marina and or dealer does it u get the extra carpet.

Thanks for the response.  How hard is it to replace the floor?  Do I need to brace the sides of the boat prior to removing the floor?

No u don't. The floor is like a floor in a house, with cross supports, etc.  I do beleive ther is a post somewhere on where a member had done it...let me look.
