ps..if anyone can advise me how to post a pic, that would be helpful to accurately display the parts im looking for:-)

I think the part will depend on the manufacturer and model of platform you have.

You can add photos to your personal page or post the photo to a hosting site and add a link to your post.

It always helps to let us know what model of Whaler we are talking about.

That swim platform doesn't look like anything I have seen so I can't guess.

However, those fittings look like standard "Rail Base" fittings which we show in our "OEM Part Photos" section.

I’m just guessing but your swim platform looks similar to mine. I believe it’s a chromed over brass 3 hole rail fitting.

We already have all the information and photos in our "OEM Part Photos" section as I linked to above.

No need for more photos of the same thing.
Here is the info.
