Yes it some times pays to buy new so you don't have any else to blame but yourself

Or follow forums like this so you know what to watch for.......

Bulkhead cracks would have been the first thing a guy should have looked for on a 850......

But sometimes a guy just gets caught up in the emotions of a new toy/machine and overlooks some stuff. **** happens.

Could always waffle it off lol.

If you dont have access to a welder who can do it you could simply add steel doubler / brace on both sides and through bolt / rivet .....

you will not have good luck on welding it. there is magnesium in it so makes it hard to weld. your pretty well screwed. i would know as i wrecked 2 bulkheads on the POS

I'd be checking the rest of your motor mounts bet they all need replacing too.
