Fender Clips

Post by kjones1 » Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:03 pm

Just lost a fender from my 1957 Sportsman. It went overboard (as I was distracted by a couple of granddaughters) with a clip attached to it, that clip fit into a slotted bracket inside the boat. I want to buy some of the clips because I know that this will happen again. Any guidance on where to look will be appreciated.

The clip is a circle in which the line is attached and a "T" that fits into the bracket slot.

I believe that this is a Taylor made product---and as much as I hate to --West Marine probably has them.

If in fact it is a Taylor Made product, could you go directly to Taylor Made to buy the parts on-line?

Is this the clip you have?

This is a Perko product, #1299

It is available at West Marine. I have worked at West part time for five years. It's been a great experience, and I get a fantastic associate discount. I give the launch and winterizing seminars, among other things.

This has been a long but slow and very part-time search. Here (I hope) is a picture of the clip that is somewhere in Lake Winnisquam in NH. This is the clip I'm trying to find.
Look familiar to anyone?

Not sure the pic came through. Pardon if redundant...blame old fumble fingers!

I would think that would be fairly easy to have fabricated.
