What are they called?

Postby Wayne162 » April 15th, 2017, 7:28 pm

I have attached photos of the bushings or washer that hold the side panels of the sundeck to the rails. Can't find them anywhere on the internet probably because I don't know what they are called. Looking for them in pure white preferably made from Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and not nylon. Any help appreciated as always :help:

Did you try Carver or a Carver dealer? You can also try a plastics supplier. They should carry hollow tubing that you may be able to use.

Gonna check with Carver next week. Kinda hope they have them already with the cutout for the railing. I'm sure fastenal or another supplier have them. I just don't know what to call them.

If you find them outside of a dealer, please let us know. I have a feeling you won't find them with the concave edge, but you never know...

Any big boat repair shop should have them I would think.

Thanks G36,
Standoff's are exactly what they are called. Just have to find the right size 1" x 11/16" x 1/4" un-threaded hole, notched to fit the rail. Checking with Carver tomorrow if I can't find them on-line.

Yes...they are called standoffs. Carver may still have them...not sure. There were different lengths for different boats. Let them know your hull number and they can tell you if they still have them. The plastic rivets that hold the panels on are available through Grainger. Again, you'll need to know what depth and diameter you need

Standoffs is the right term. You'll also need plastic rivets. I'm redoing mine and it makes a noticeable improvement cosmetically. My old rivet heads had filled with dirt, looked bad and were becoming brittle and breaking. The new rivets will just tap in. Use a hammer with a clean head as to not get the new rivets marked up. Don't ask how I know this!!!
