Stainless steel grab handles for console

Sthurley · 09 June 2018, 05:21

Hello all

I would like to add stainless steel grab handles to the 'rocket launcher' seat at the front of the console on my ribeye 6m. I have priced with ribeye directly and the handles are unbelievably expensive! There seem to be plenty of options on line but how do you choose the correct one for the console, what curvature, height, angle of through bolts for fixing etc!

The boat is 2005, if that helps, if anyone has any ideas, or has the same boat and could take measurements or guide me please.

Thanks

Stephen

It’s likely to be what fits in the space you have. Personally I prefer one two hands wide in a horizontal position. Each to their own. Cquip sell a few bit didn’t used to sell to public. Mine is a hidden screw model, fixed from behind with some decent stainless penny washers.

Yep, that’s what I want to do, just don’t know which ones!

As said above the best are the 1 bolt each end through with decent penny washer on the inside more forgiving on slight radius surfaces and neater IMO

Still mulling this one over. Trying to judge where the handle would fit due to the curves on the console. All the handles I look at on line look as though they only suit level surfaces. I am wondering if I would need to mould a packer piece to level the curves. Any ribeye 600 on line with grab handles, there doesn't appear to be any packing pieces, I would be surprised if ribeye manufacture their own stainless grab handles, but where to get the pattern? I will have to bend some plastic conduit to give me an approximate template to check any handles I can get my hands on. If anyone on this forum has a ribeye 600 with grab handles, maybe you could take a tracing and measurements any post the image??
