For a 1975 Outrage 19. If you have such a part sitting around Let me know. Edited by Tom W Clark on 11/15/11 - 9:14 PM Dont lie Dont Cheat And dont give up..

If Perko was original, then what size is it? You can find out that info on the Perko link I gave you above if you click on ordering info...

I have one that came off my project outrage will not be going on the custom low pro that is to be the finished product. It is not perfect but it is in fair shape I can send some pics if you pm me info to send a pic.

This is my towing post. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/...54234.jpg/ I could send it away to be re chromed I am exploring avenues. I am not necessarily looking for a perfect piece and would welcome all your suggestions. Edited by ritzyrags on 11/15/11 - 2:07 PM Dont lie Dont Cheat And dont give up..

It would be less expensive to just have it re-chromed. It will also come out better too. You will almost always do better to re-chrome original Whaler hardware instead of trying to replace it. There have just been too many subtle changes to parts over the years.

It would seem to me, a novice, a part this large made by Perko would have the name and number on it.
