Designed to strengthen the engine divider panels on v-drive boats to prevent bowing when additional ballast has been added to the rear lockers. Sold as a pair.
One of the most popular WakeMAKERS products for several years now, our exclusive Engine Divider Panel Savers are a robust, easy to install solution to reinforce your engine divider panels. Add additional ballast to your rear lockers to achieve that great wake and don't worry about bowing of the engine divider panels due to the ballast bag bulging.
Each Engine Divider Panel Saver Kit now comes with a total of six bars, three for each of your two engine divider panels. Just order a quantity of 1 of this product, and you'll have everything you need for the whole boat.
The bar struts included in this kit are 19" long, making for a perfect fit on nearly any engine divider panel. Simply position the reinforcement bars on your panel, drill the required holes, and use the supplied allen key and hardware to securely fasten them in place. In just a few minutes you've prevented your divider panels from bending, bowing, or popping out of the track. No matter how much your ballast bag bulges in the rear locker, you can relax knowing that your engine divider panels are strong enough to withstand it.
Like all WakeMAKERS products, these are designed and built at our headquarters in Bend, Oregon. Built from thick sidewall 6063 Aluminum U channel and all hardware is stainless steel. After being precision cut, finished with radius edges, and drilled for a perfect fit, the bar struts are powder coated flat black for corrosion resistance and a factory appearance. Once installed they are practically invisible and look so good that most people will assume the boat came with them from the factory.
Our Engine Divider Panel Savers are now sold as a complete solution for both sides of the engine panels.
Estimated Install Time: 30 minutes
Required Tools: Drill with 3/8" drill bit
What's Included:
6x 19" long 6063 Aluminum Machined U Channel Struts

Expert Insight: Use Provided Tools
During installation we advise against using power drills to installs the bars as it causes the hardware to seize. Instead, hand tighten the hardware using the provided allen key.

Good quality support upgrade for dividers
Installed these divider supports with the vent upgrade and bagbusters. Everything was high quality parts, fitment was perfect and install is pretty straight forward. Some of the nuts were tight to fit in the channel but that also helps hold it in place when tightening the u-channel to the divider. Everything installed and went together nicely. Took about 30 minutes to install the supports on both sides. Whole project with all 3 upgrades took under 2 hrs (probably could have been shorter but I am a perfectionist).

Easy install
Easy install but, remember the bolts and nuts are stainless and you will need to use some type of Anti Seize on the threads

Nylon locking nuts are not good quality
I bought 2 sets to have 6 bars in each divider as some have suggested. I had 4 of the nylon locking bolts completely seize up. I was not using a drill. Only using the allen key provided. If your reading this guys I could use 4 more bolts and 4 more nuts.

Disappointed
This product is very well designed and made, and easy to install, but unfortunately it did not prevent the engine panels on my 2022 Moomba Mojo from collapsing with full (factory) ballast. Each side of the engine is in 3 panels on my Moomba and the largest panel on each side still gave into the weight of the ballast bags. I think I may need additional supports on the center panels. Overall I’m disappointed that this could not correct the issue on my boat.
