Need Grab Bar for 2006 342 FV

canaan

I broke the vertical grab handle off of the back of the boat (on the rear wall on the swim platform).  Its a stainless steel straight bar - around 7" from post to post.  In the pic attached its the one with the dock line attached to it...now you also know how I broke it.  Any idea where I can buy a replacement?

I have to admit, having your sistership I saw that dock line on the grab bar in the pic and thought to myself "I dont think those are for dock lines". Best case will be Great Lakes Skipper or Rinker. Worst case will be having a local metal shop make a new one. How did it break? Its not meant for much weight so it may be repairable by a metal shop.

The admiral tied the back of the boat up...it actually snapped off about 10 seconds after I took this picture (I didn't even realize what she had tied off to until I heard the snap).  Unfortunately, the handle is about 6 feet underwater (it went overboard after breaking).  It was windy and the boat was just too much weight for it.

Those T-bar type are hard to find, you may have to switch to this kind.

Thanks Randy.  Looks to be a good option.

@canaan.  Where are you at in Holland?  I slip at Yacht Basin.

@black_diamond- I'm actually in St. Joe.  Bought it from Anchorage Yacht Sales in Holland, close to where you slip.  I slip at Harbor Shores Marina in St. Joseph.

That guy used to slip behind me. Hardly ever saw them on it.  I think they were from Chicago.  If you ever cruise up this way, give me a shout.

Will do, likewise!  Yah, the boat is a 2006 but only has 85 hours on her.
