windshield support arms
 

I was getting the boat ready and noticed the black support arms by the cuddy door are getting "crumbly" around the base. any body some they want to get rid of, or know where i can get replacements?

thanks

Do the search for windshield, there is a bunch of stuff there.
You know, I've had too much to drink. Somehow I seen "windshield" in the post.
Well, look there anyway.

I'll be damn, I weren't that polluted, it did say windshield!!

After going thru their stuff, is this what you were talking about?

keep drinking T, your doing great.

that was exactly what i need, i did a search on west and all i came up with was windshield wipers. i know boaters world had them at one time, but i heard they are about to fold,

thanks again.

I got the same ones when i needed them for my boat at the time. They were just fine, but i could not get the perfect size and had to make new holes for them on the dash.

See next post...this one went in the shi##er

It will be very hard to find the correct length,
I made my own using Bimini SS ends and cut to length SS pipes off a spare bow rail. Looks great and works like the original ..

I had to do the same thing when I replaced mine. I couldn't find any that were a perfect match. I think I ended up buying some at West Marine.

thanks guys, i went to west and ordered 4 today (2 for me & 2 for vic)
wellcraft needs 16" and the only ones i've found are 14"

size matters after all

Those are the ones I used I believe, I had to mount them a little closer to the windshield, but they still offer plenty of support.

got them in from west marine today, i ended up taking the 16 " al bars from the orignal supports and putting the new ends in them. looks ok, but the older oned were a lot more support and much better made than the taylor replacements i got. if you guys have the orignals and they are in good shape, take them apart and clean then and take good care of them.

i think if i had to do it again, i would do what nymack suggested, mo better & cheaper......

Wow, Do I need glasses or something. If I could see the pic I would copy what you did. :)

what till you get to be an old phart, that will be in focus

I'm going to use the idea of the bimini top parts because I have most of the parts that I need. The previous owner of my boat changed one side with what looks like a swim platform support. The original side is pretty much shot and I have been looking for a good replacement.
