f-32 cut cockpit railing so i dont have to climb over

Post by g36 »

i would like to cut a section of my railing and put a hinge on it so that i may flip it back and be able to enter and exit to the swim platform without having to crawl over the rail. i have seen pictures of what appears to be stainless hinge and parts that are shaped to the rail so that it is a very nice looking job in the end. has anyone done this or have a boat with a section on hinge or similiar?

Early F32's had a hinged sections on the sides. The hinged parts may still be available from Marine Tech. Give John a call, he'll help you.

Bought mine from Marine Tech- both sides were a little over $200.

I've seen them for sale at other places, but the profile of the rail has to match anything you buy.

Check with http://www.sailorman.com

They have a HUGE inventory of clean used parts for virtually any boat. I am sure they would have rail hinge assemblies...
