Default RE: Shockwave 55 gel coat and repaint??

The Shockwave I had,had aluminum rails that were probably more than 5" and the engine was mounted on another piece of aluminum.T-bar's were made for 5" rails so if you do find one it probably won't fit, unless you add spacers on each side.Another thing is that if your boat is an original Shockwave with the tank mounted where it is in the picture below,there wouldn't be room for a T bar and be able to grease it.One option would be to eliminate the hard tank and use an IV bag which could be mounted elsewhere. I marked the brass tube where I wanted to mount the grease fitting and filled a small flat on the tube for the drill to get a place to start and drilled a 1/8" hole.The only T bars I found were on Ebay ,but those used an oil cup to use oil instead of grease.
