I happened by the West Marine store to get the black polysulfide caulk and remembered I needed some shock cord and didn't have my cooler chocks to see what would fit in the holes and knot up small enough. I must have thrown out the old cords that were in terrible shape and probably not much value in determining size. I also think 3/8 is the size. Thanks Drew 1988 Outrage 18 - 1988 Yamaha 130 hp

Are these original style items still available? I have new Blackduck cooler chocks to install for this year, so need to work this out n Edited by Marko888 on 05/27/13 - 11:03 PM

Not sure if the plastic pieces that screw to the cooler are available or would have to be fabricated. Drew 1988 Outrage 18 - 1988 Yamaha 130 hp
