bow pulpit
 

I have an 82 sceptre. I would like to add a bow pulpit to the boat. Has anyone added a pulpit for their boat and where did you purchase it?

Thanks

I had mine fabricated as part of my bowrail. See pictures in the gallery section here under Chris Downey's 23' Sceptre.

I don’t know if this is what You are looking for but I believe Fr. Frank would like this one his boat.

That's a very nice pulpit. I'm not sure how I'd mount that on my 20' Seafari. Got any ideas?

Why, in front center stage of course! Where else? :D

I'm not sure grace alone by faith alone will work mounting this pulpit on my boat. I think I'd rather use the method propounded by St. Augustine of Hippo. "Pray as if it were entirely up to God, work as if it were entirely up to you".

So, stainless steel bolts and nuts, with a lot of 3M 5200 adhesive. What do you think?

I opted not to add the actual pulpit extension and mounted just the anchor roller to the bow of my 23' Tsunami. I installed a Windline anchor roller that pivots when the tension is released- it works absolutely flawlessly !

I added extra support under the deck ( in the rope locker ) w/ (2) 3/4" pcs of ply wood glassed together and shaped to the actual form of the area in the rope locker. Then, SS bolted thru the deck and the 1.5" of ply. I epoxy sealed the edges of the ply.

This set up is coupled with a Lewmar windlass. Finding the Windline pivoting anchor roller was not easy - it is not often advertised. I found this to be the best make in terms of design and quality.

It all works great although this year I want to add add'l base support to the anchor roller/deck joint. Where it is mounted to the deck, the bow is not perfectly flat, it's a little convex - so I am going to make epoxy wedges to compensate. So far, this set-up has been bullet-proof.
