Bait Boards- Locally Manufactured, sold at Allboats
Submitted by Subaquatic on Thu, 2013-05-23 19:41
I purched a Baitboard a few months ago at Allboats. Its a stainless frame with two rodholders and a slide out tray underneath. When I purchased it, the guys at allboats said it was made locally. (I will try and post a photo soon)
Problem is that I lost the tray a few weeks ago on the way to the ramp.
I have been back to Allboats, and they have no idea who they got them from, or how I would source a new replacement.(???) They pretty much said Im S.O.L. and that the last one was sold a few days ago.
Im hoping someone may know who built them, or knows where the trays came from. Its a shame to have to replace it just because I cant get another tray!
Any input appreciated.
Regards

I couldn't tell you mate,
I couldn't tell you mate, I'm being sarcasstic. But knowing where it came from it wouldn't suprise me at all. Once again a very average response from someone in the retail game.

In all fairness, should I
In all fairness, should I really have to hunt around a store to find someone to give a shit about my problems?
I stood at the counter with 4-5 people within earshot, and clearly explained my situation. Had there been anyone who had a solution, Im sure (hope) they would have piped up.

Just that white box
Just that white box underneath that slides in. Its just a plain old plastic tub, but for it to work properly, the dimensions are critical, and I cant find anything that works.

Measure up and go to Ikea.
Measure up and go to Ikea. Up stairs by the canteen is the kids section, they have a pine frame cabinet with slots in the side to slide in plastic bins that look just like that.

Doesn't surprise me at all
Doesn't surprise me at all with that company I've had the same treatment. I bet they tried to charge you $2000 for the bait board as well

i know the guy that builds
i know the guy that builds these, they are electro polished and quality made locally not over seas chinese crap.
Why not phone Allboats and ask to speak to Bruno he is the manager of that department and get him to order the part in simple 9309 4200.
As everyone knows "your only as good as your employees" and some lack a little knowlege at times as we all do.
