Title: '82 Magic tilt winch seat
Post by: Daydreaming on September 10, 2012, 10:59:23 PM
Has anyone had to replace this item? I can't seem to find one.  Mine split, folded up.  I bought what I thought would work but it will require moving the post way forward or the boat way back.  It sits on three rollers now and I'm not too crazy about moving things around too much.  If I could find the proper replacement part, problem solved.  Thanks in advance.

I must be doing something right.  Today was my lucky day. ;D  After looking for months, internet, steel supply yards, welding shops, I decided to try one last place.  Showed them what I needed, they looked like  ???  and said I was welcome to look through the cut offs and there it was, three feet of square tubing, perfect size and thickness.  Galzanized too!  A few minutes with the plasma cutter and are you ready for this, 10 bucks later I had two 3' pieces ready for fabrication!  Ahhhhhh!  Thanks to all who took the time to read my post, I am sure you would have helped if you could have.  Happy trailering and sailoring!

That's cool.  I imagine that part is not available off the shelf.  So custom would be the way to go.
