I'm desperate to find one for these for my 18 1/2' 1988 Outrage. Long, sad story as to why I need one.

Not sure, but based on the picture in your parts gallery, and the documentation I was able to download from this site (what a fabulous resource this place is, BTW!!! Thanks for making it available!) I *think* the P/N is 12460900.

If you can help, please e.mail (email is in my profile)

Thanks!
Tom

Tom,

These are very difficult to find and almost impossible.
I have been looking for 3 years as the original owner chopped of the Chaff Lip on mine.
The only one that will fit is the one for the Outrage 18' as the 20 footers on up have a different angle on the Chaff Lip.... You might also be able to find one without the Chaff Lip.

I ended up making a Teak Bow Pulpit and then putting on the old bow bitt. I put on the old bow bitt because I didn't have a cleat at the time. Now, I would just use an 8 inch cleat instead of the Bow Bitt.

The pulpit is a great place to keep your anchor if you constantly change your location when you are fishing. This way you don't have to bring the anchor aboard each time.
