I can't seem to find these anywhere. The ones on my boat measure 2.125" hole to hole.
I seem to be able to find anything but this size.
I just bought this 2000 13 sport and someone replaced some of the loops with regular steel ones and they are rusted so I would like to replace them all.
Does anyone know where to get replacements?

Thank you, checked it out to no avail.
I think I will just remove the ones I have and see if I can de-rust them, and polish them up.
Hopefully under all that there is actually stainless steel!

I'm taking my 13 out tomorrow. It's a 2023 but I'll check the measurements and bolt spacing and let you know.

I measured 2.25 hole spacing. So I know the spacing, just can't seem to find them available with that spacing.
Is this something Boston Whaler might sell?

Hi Bob, that's what I was thinking. If it matches up to a recent part, they will most likely have it or be able to order it. I'm thinking about ordering a couple myself so I can add a second tank. I will keep you posted.

I have a new strap and the spacing is 2.25. They are black plastic if you are interested. Camco replacement strap 55364

Sorry Bob, I've taken out the 13 almost every day this week and I keep forgetting to bring the tape measure!
On the newer 130 Super Sports, the battery uses those loops but the gas tank uses a different kind of strap
Here's all the part numbers

I have several in my parts bin that I have taken out in the past.
Not sure what Whalers.
Several of them are 2 7/8" center to center. (2.875")
I don't see those even on any lists.
However, the list that Phil gave you shows several that have your dimensions of 2.125" = 2 1/8"
Please explain a little more?
