Default Recessed Rail

Anyone know what hardware is needed to mount the old style recessed grab rail for a 23 SF.
It has 13 brackets.
Any help is much appreciated !

The brackets should have a recessed hole in the center to insert a Stainless flathead bolt & flat washer long enough to be accessed under the cap. Best way is to insert the bolt & washer into each bracket first then slide them all onto the rail. Then align each into their respected holes. Secure with a SS flat washer underneath also & aircraft nut.

Thanks Chuck.....I haven't picked up the grab rail yet. I was wondering what size bolts? If you don't mind. Reason is picking up the rail on my way to the keys and was going to install down there.
Much Appreciated !!

CMI Marine Products, Hingham, Mass. Quality .316 stainless railing bases and stansions I have used in the past for Boston Whaler reproductions. I believe Fred has sold the business or retired. Shame. He was fun to talk to. I’ll bet they may have exact duplicates for the recessed bow rail.

Vezo.

Sorry , don't remember. 16yrs ago I installed them. I would 1/4" x 1½" would work temporarily until you get the exact
Flat head vs Oval might be a better choice & get a hex head bolt because you need a small wrench to hold the head when tightening. You can't slip a phillip's or slot srew driver in there. No big deal, you get 'er done.
