E-Tech Score
 

Well even a blind monkey finds a Banana every once in a while.

I went to the Dania Marine Flee Market and found E-Tech low profile bow rail fittings for the grab rail that goes around the bow of my 23 CC they are ¾” pipe fittings cost me $40 to do my boat.
This week I went to a aluminum fabrication shop to bend me up two 15 foot aluminum 6063 T5 Sch 40 pipes. My bet I will save 50% on this upgrade.

I kept the old fittings if any one needs them.

Hi Red 20

I really don’t know which isle they were on but they were about 2 or 3 isle’s from the most northern isle at the flee market. They sold a lot of different new E-tech products mostly for marine metal fabrication shops. They must be a distributor for E-tech and have first shot on extra new stock that has not been picked up or over stock items.

The dementions are
2 ½” high that’s the part that is above the 90 degree lip of the boat. There is a screw part that fits under the lip.
The outside demention is 1 ¼”
The hole that the pipe runes through is 1 1/16”
The aluminum pipe size is ¾” pipe is measured by its inside demention
The aluminum pipe outside demention is just over 1”
The pipe catalog id is 6063 T5 Sch 40
This is the same bow rail that SeaCraft, Contender and a lot of other OEM’s use on their boats and is much better that the original equipment SeaCraft used 30 years ago.

I bought some stuff from them too but didn't see those :( - Maybe next time. Sure could have used them on my boat. I wonder if they are local and sell them as scratch & dents?

Hi Red20:

E-Tech in up the road approx 100 miles, I don’t know the guys that had the booth. They had a box of these fittings and I got approx ½ of them. If you go to their web sight they have a catalog and phone # for retail buyers or maybe they know who worked the Marine Flee Market.
The guy said they were over stock items that someone did not take or they got back. Nothing I got looked scratched or damaged in any way. I worked for Bennett Marine and we were very fussy on that it seemed to me that all the stock on the booth looked new and undamaged just like the Taco booth, Tigress booth, and the Lenco Trim tab booths. I was there Friday during the day and it looked like the first one that spotted the fittings.
