Ballast Panel Saver Kit

Strengthen the engine divider panels on your v-drive boat and prevent bowing when adding extra ballast in the rear lockers. Sold as a set for both sides, these exclusive WakeMAKERS Engine Divider Panel Savers provide a sturdy and straightforward solution for reinforcing your engine panels.

A longtime customer favorite, our Divider Panel Saver Kit includes six durable 19” struts—three for each panel—ensuring robust support to prevent panel bowing caused by bulging ballast bags. Just add one kit to your cart, and you’ll have all you need for the entire boat.

Each strut is precision-made to fit nearly any divider panel. Simply position the bars on your panel, drill the holes, and use the provided Allen wrench and hardware to fasten them securely in place. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have strong, stable divider panels that can handle the added weight and pressure from your ballast bags without bending or popping out.

Made at our headquarters in Bend, Oregon, these reinforcement bars are crafted from thick-walled 6063 aluminum U-channel and paired with stainless steel hardware for lasting strength. Each bar is powder-coated in flat black for corrosion resistance and a factory-like finish, making them nearly invisible once installed and giving your boat a sleek, professional look.

• 6x 19" Aluminum U-Channel Struts (6063)
