Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 1978 Montauk handrail replacement bases

I've replaced my handrail bases with West Marine bases, but they're wider than the original ones and I don't like them. Is there any source for original replacements? Thanks.

I am not sure what yours look like but Specialty Marine has rail bases. Check them out and see if these are what you need.

Specialty Marine Rail Bases

Good Luck!

Per a Tom Clark post, the original vendor for the rails and fittings are:

CMI MARINE
2 Shipyard Drive,
Hingham MA 02043
Telephone: 781-740-1260
Fax: 781-740-1261

They don't do email well so call them and ask to speak to Fred Caldwell.

Thanks to both of you. I looked at Specialty Marine and it looks perfect! I'll also try to contact CMI. Wish I did this BEFORE I used the West Marine bases.
