Turns out that I had pictures the whole time.  Well now there are more.
Part of the series of pictures is of the hole which was needed in order to
remove the port aft fastener.  Naturally I used that same access port to
attach the new 1/4x20 stud.  In retrospect I would not include that stud.

Second that too.  My originals were drilled in place at the factory.  My 
replacements needed to be oriented correctly fore and aft and port and 
starboard or they would not fit.

Just have to be VERY careful about measuring and sending them old ones.  Your

Rick,

You are correct.  The holes are not standard.  They were apparently drilled
in place.  As such each one has minute differences in placement.  That's
why the templates are so important.  I will say that despite the appearance
of the wood rails the SS ones are so much stronger and easier to maintain.
Always clean and never need polished.  They are slippery and if it was
anyone's habit to stand on the wooden rails then they will be surprised by
the insecure footing which is provided by the SS ones.  That being said I
would sooner tie off to the SS rails than just about any other deck mounted
fitting aside from maybe the bow and stern cleats.

Second on stainless.  It's easier to get custom fitted than you might think.  
Local shop took my old ones, used them to create a hole-Template on a length of

Re: Stus-List PVC Handrails, 12" On Center

2017-08-09 Thread Josh Muckley via CnC-List 
I had mine built so that there were 1/4x20 studs that extended from the
bottom of each standoff.  This allowed full reuse of the existing holes and
through bolting.  Many of the other replacements are a type of 3 screw
flange for the standoffs and straight tubing.  I completely dug out the
existing holes and back filled with thickened epoxy before redrilling,
bedding with butyl, and fastening with nylocks.

You will find that the aft most screw on the port side has no access.
After digging holes in my own boat I suggest that you simply cut the screw
off, fill with epoxy, and then leave that single stand off without a stud
for fastening.  The stiffness of the tubing and the downward pressure of
the other standoffs will provide all the security and protection needed for
that short unsupported section of rail.

I used Whitewater for SS handrails on a J30.  Turned out great.

Just have to be VERY careful about measuring and sending them old ones.
Your old rails may be both curved and crowned.  They may "unflex" a bit
once you remove them.  Like Josh says, templates for the curve AND the
crown will help.

Stus-List PVC Handrails, 12" On Center 
Many of us have gone with stainless steel handrails.  I had mine custom made by 
whitewatermarine.com they turned great.  If you remove the old ones first and 
send them with a cardboard template of each side you can better guarantee the 
results.  I don't think I have any pictures but will probably be able to get 
some a little later today.

Hello all,
I'm looking for someone to correct me if I'm going down a bad path...
Our 1994 C 37/40+ has grayed out teak grab rails, 12' on center with 6 loops. 
 

We're in Florida, where sun likes to strip varnish away with ruthless abandon, 
and the boat has a sleek, modern look on the outside anyway.  I am thinking 
about doing away with the teak rails and going with either stainless handrails 
or, I see that I can get white PVC rails from Hamilton Marine for about $160 
apiece.  

I'm
 kind of thinking it might be hard to have really sleek looking 
stainless ones made which would easily mount through the existing holes 
in the deck...
Anyone here have any experience with PVC handrails?  

Thanks for the insights, Bruce Whitmore
