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,

Tom,
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.
