If memory serves me, there are at least two different stern rails. A single rail and a two section rail. My opinion is to stay away from a rail that is crimped. It's strength will be severely compromised. Also there are shops that can make a stern rail for you.Joe DempseyEx- Rhodes 22S/V RespiteDeltaville, VASent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

It's on the left side in the full picture.  I looked through our 'Picture Gallery' for a photo of this style railing installed on a boat, and this is the best I found: http://www.rhodes22.org/pics/lloyd_large.jpgWhen I added my solar 'arch' to the boat, I reused the existing hardware that's used to attach the railing to the boat.  So, I can't make that hardware available to you.  These are not complicated pieces, but they are non-standard, so it's likely you would have to have replacements fabricated.  My boat and trailer are still at the trailer repairs shop in Maine.  The trailer is supposed to be ready to go this week.  When that happens, I'll also take some pictures of the railing mounting hardware.--Peter > On 2023-09-04, at 16:10:30 EDT, Tom Hyatt wrote:>> Peter:> > That would be wonderful.
