9″ GRAB RAIL BOASTS NEW RANGE OF INSTALL METHODS

Grab Rail

Sept 3, 2019

Every boat has that one spot where a grab rail is needed, but was never added due to the complexity of the installation. Schmitt & Ongaro Marine’s 9″ Top-Mounted Grab Rail can be wood or cap screw mounted, so it’s easy for OEMs and consumers to add this stylish piece of hardware on board.

The 9″ Top-Mounted Grab Rail is manufactured from T-316 cast stainless steel polished to a mirror-like finish. One integral black Santoprene™ rubber insert extending on the top and bottom surfaces is soft and comfortable to the touch and has the appearance of perforated leather. It’s very tough and abrasion resistant, and provides a solid handgrip, even when wet. Custom insert colors are available to OEMs. The overall look matches any marine décor, whether classic or contemporary.

Installation is through flaps in the rubber insert that lift and provide access to insert the bolt or screw. Once the 9″ Top-Mounted Grab Rail is in place, all hardware is completely hidden for a custom-finished appearance.

Schmitt & Ongaro’s 9″ Top-Mounted Grab Rail comes with a lifetime warranty on the stainless steel and three years on the grip. MSRP is $63.30 in USD.

Good Advice that You Can Share – The Art of Anchoring

An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
