1977 23' CC hawse pipes

[marlin200265]

Do any of you guys know the manufacture who did the original Hawse pipes for the 23' 1977 CC. RGH opening is 4.5" x 1 7/8" with 4 screws that are 4.75 apart on length.

Thanks

Marinum is the manufacturer. I have 2 extra original hawse pipes that happen to come off a 1977. Send me a PM with a reasonable offer and they can be yours...Jim

Thank you for the offer, they are about the same shape mine are in. Just wanted to buy new, Have the ability to get them chromed but by the timne I buff and chrome plate I might as well buy new.
Thanks again

Marinium is actually the material they were made from, a special aluminum alloy that had something like titanium in it to improve corrosion resistance. Most of these types of parts, like cleats and bow lights, have a WC on the backside of them, for Wilcox-Crittenden, who I believe is the original manufacturer. Marinium will polish up very nicely on a buffing wheel, although you need to put some clear coat on it to prevent the formation of a light oxide.

Ditto on what BW said. I bought a couple of cleats from caymanboy and they cleaned up nicely. I used 000 steel wool then some NeverDull from Advance.

The Whitecaps 6127C is a close replacement in SS should you choose to go that route.

Good call Denny! I learned something today. I pulled out my extra cleats & hawse pipes to check, see below "red" circles.
