nigel Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 I would like to add a bar over the console like this, but I am not sure if its stainless steel or aluminum. If you have a bar like this, could you give me some advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Aluminum would be my choice, lighter and less $$$$. JMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so suggest seeing the picture and mounting points,2 that it be through bolted and lg backing plates to carry the load if you or a passenger is thrown against it or holding onto in a rough see. Seen them torn off and bent and FG damage. JMO. Best of luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I put an aluminium one on my Maverick HPX, and it's invaluable for safety and ease of moving around the boat. Where are you located? My was done by a fabricator in Naples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polliwog Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I am sure there are marine fabricators in your area. It's a common thing that people like us want things to be done to improve our boats. My guy also welded a set of holder to the poling plat form to attach a sissy bar so I could feel comfortable at the ripe age of 80yrs old on the platform LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
