Hardware needed

I'm not sure what you call the rail part the opens to allow access to the boat but here are some pics, I'm looking for the hinge and latch. I want to add an opening on the stern rail to allow easier access to the swim step. Any idea where I might find this hardware? Anybody got one lying around? Thanks....John

John, these were pretty common on Trojans. You may want to check with Beacon first but I have seen them on eBay before.

Thanks Big D and Paul,

I'll start watching ebay, Beacons are a diff design and I want to try and match the other 2 I already have....plus $360 a is a little much for what I'm trying to accomplish........John

i didnt have any rail hinge on my 78 f32. had to climb over . pita. so i did contact bob. at that time there were none on the web site and they were parting out a boat he did have a used one that he sent off and had it rechromed for me. it was like brand new when i got it. anyway you might want to call him and see if there are other options that he might have access to.

John,

There is a guy in Manteca that parts out boats; I'm sure he has rail hardware that you can dig through and find what you're looking for. PM me and I'll get you his number.
