Does anyone have an old style 60 degree rail base fitting you'd like to part with? I am having the ones on my 1982 Outrage 18 re-plated but a previous owner replaced one with a newer version that is not quite identical. I checked with CMI in Weymouth Ma, but they don't have any and say the original mold was broken.

Joe,
I have a photo that shows my original fittiing alongside the newer ones that Specialty marine sells. the older one is larger. How can i attach or insert the photo. sorry my tech skills are not that great.
Send the photo to me and also post the dimensions between the bolt holes like I show in my link above.
1 1/2" from bottom center hole to each right and left upper hole.
Then the upper right and left holes are 1 7/8" apart
Also the diameter of the base.
The link above shows 2 9/16" diameter.
I believe those dimensions are for all original fittings. (not absolute)
The hole spacing on the old fittings on my boat are 1-1/2" bottom of bottom hole to top of top holes. top holes 1-7/8" on center. Overall diameter is 2-9/16". The newer fittings from specialty Mariner are not as tall and the distance from top to bottom holes is only 1-1/8". I need one of the older fittings if anyone has one or knows where one might be.
