My 2011 Skeeter ZX 225 cooler lid broke as has been mentioned by many on this forum. This is the cooler in the middle of the two seats with the black plastic lid. The short plastic post sliding into the frame was a weak design.
I have a solution! I waited two full seasons before posting to make sure it would hold up. So, I am confident when I share this among my Skeeter Brethren.
I bought 6 inch Construction Lag Screws (see image). I removed the entire frame from the rim of the cooler opening. This is the important part...I carefully chose the placement and drilled a pilot hole on each end. I then screwed the lags through the side of the cooler into the frame.
I hope the picture illustrates the finished product. It has been a flawless solution.
