Engine compartment dividers

Recommended Posts

Not sure if I’m using the proper terminology here. I’m looking for the dividers in the engine compartment that separate the engine section from the side lockers. I just got a boat and they are missing. Not sure why they were removed. There are two aftermarket ballast bags in the ski lockers, and I imagine that it would be good to have that divider to separate the hot engine manifolds from the rubber bags. 
 

Anyone know what these are called and where I can get some replacements? I have a 2011 Avalanche. Or should I just make some out of plywood and cover them with fiberglass and epoxy? 
 

Pictures for reference

There are actually 4 of them in your boat. 2 large and 2 smaller forward. You can try calling centurion. They might be able to point you to a vendor. Otherwise, you’ll have to make them. I’d use plastic as thick as the U-channel on the floor will hold. I’d also reinforce them with U-channel aluminum on the engine side.

What is u-channel aluminum? You mean a sheet of aluminum glued to the plastic? Or are you talking about aluminum u-channels? The u-channels are still there

Through-bolt aluminum U-channel to the dividers for reinforcement. Otherwise, the ballast bags in the lockers can push/bend the dividers and dislodge them.

If you look at the PDF attachment in the first post of the thread link below, there is a picture of the divider reinforcements that I had on my old Avy.
