I have a 2020 Montauk 170. Has anyone had problems with the cooler support with the bungee cords that attach from the center counsel to the cooler? Both sides where the cord attaches to the bracket broke off where the screws go through into the counsel. It seems to bee a poor design. I am reluctant to buy a replacement because I believe the replacement would break in the same place as well. This is the long bar the length of the cooler that attaches to the counsel and attaches on each side of the cooler. BOTH sides broke off at the screw hole.

Your boat is still under the warranty. Return the cooler bracket to your dealer for a replacement under warranty.

I have not read of this part having premature failures since they introduced it.
