Rear Grab Bar Needed

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello Everyone,

The previous owner of my 1973 Ski Nautique stripped all of the original hardware off the of the boat when he was trying to make it more like a "wakeboard boat". I have been to replace mostly everything except for the rear grab bar (similar to the picture below). I'd appreciate any help I can get. 

Thanks!

Ben

	That's actually not a "grab bar" per-se. It's a rope guide (clearance bar per the 73 brochure) to keep the ski rope from dragging across and hanging up on the vents. Definitely not meant to be a grab bar though.

	Also, see below link from the brochures section on the one you will need for your '73, it is different from the picture you posted. CC didn't go to the style you posted until '76. '73 clearance bar

	Thanks for your help! That would explain the extra mysterious holes in the deck...
