Anybody got one of these, or an adjustable one?

This guy might be able to sort you out on that one. "Eh,eh, calm down, calm down."

If you mean the bar that comes standard with Mariner/Mercury outboards then I have one spare. I can't check how long it is until tomorrow morning.

£15.00 posted?

Thanks Sam, but it'll probably be too long. Please check it though and if it is 10.5" then I'll have it.

Found it! I think I have another slightly different aswell somewhere.

It is 10.5 inches from centre to centre of each thread.

That's 11", you bad boy!

I'll check whether it will do the job and get back to you.

Its the camera angle

it is 10.5, maybe a fraction over (just measured again). I'll check the other one tomorrow morning.

Downhilldai · 31 January 2012, 19:15

Right, just checked and 11" will be too long, unfortunately.

It needs to be 10.5" max, but 10" would be better.

samt · 01 February 2012, 17:16

Ok, just measured the others, I found 4, none were less than 10 3/4 inches.

Downhilldai · 01 February 2012, 17:49

Thanks samt - think I'll have to continue the search

Have you tried Martin or Matt at Gower marine, they had about three crates full of different types that they got when Celtic marine closed.

Cheers Tom

I haven't yet. Will probably pop down there on the weekend and may as well call in to see if Jeff at Boathunters has anything too.

Dirk Diggler · 02 February 2012, 16:54

This measures 10.5", any good to you?

Downhilldai · 02 February 2012, 18:10

I'll check that the shape will fit and get back to you. Thanks

Cheers biff - I think the shape will be wrong, 'cos it needs quite a sharp step down from the yoke to clear the underside of the pan. I'm trying to work around it with an arm I have here, but if it doesn't work out, I'll drop you a line.
