I just installed a Fortrex on my 2000 R83 VS and I'm running into a minor issue. The Fortrex has the stabilizer bar attached, but in order for the bar to be flush with the deck so that the motor doesn't bounce around when stowed, the bar has to be unscrewed far enough that I can't put the cap on the top side. It doesn't look good and clean and it also leaves the top end open so water can get into the bar. Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, what did you do? The only thing I can think of is to put something between the deck and the stabilizer rod, like a small piece of wood or something, so that I can shorten the stabilizer rod enough to put the top cap on. But that also seems like it would not look good and I'd have to fasten the wood to the deck if I didn't want to manually place it there every time I stow the motor. Any help would be appreciated.
