Console mounted screen

Hi all & sorry that my first post is a ‘want’!

I’m trying to find a screen and (importantly) a grab rail for my Avon 4.01. Ideally Click image for larger version

Check Ebay for "Boat windscreen" there are a ton of them available in the USA. Of course just run a google type search too. Lots of replacements available. Does your console have a relief for the windscreen?

I made a replacement windscreen for my boat. Wasn't hard to bend it up and drill a few holes, but I have the tooling needed.

The grab bar/handles are nice to have and might need to be purchased from the boat manufacturer or whomever supplies their consoles. Otherwise you can have one custom made. Mine is aluminum and powder coated.

Thanks Pete.

The screen is probably the easier bit to find. It’s a suitable mounting kit / grab handles that is the problem.

I’m particularly keen to have something to hold on to when standing up in the boat!

I have saved searches etc on EBay and I’ve spent ages googling but not found anything yet hence my post. Here’s a photo of my console [emoji3]Click image for larger version

Nugent on here used to be the screen guy. Not seen him post much recently.

Assuming you are in Modbury the UK, someone on here will be able to recommend a stainless fabricator in the Devon/Cornwall area.
