Bow Rails

[irvin mccurry]

I have a 20 ft Grady needing bow rails replaced and am clueless, there is not much of a bend but 1 inch pipe probably doesn't bend that easy. Mine looks like 2 seperate pieces but i'm not sure whether to take them off and find what i need or drag the boat somewhere and say "will you please order what i need and call me when it arrives". I can order the fittings i do know that much.

I am not sure how noce you want it but if so I would try calling the manufacture

1" tubing will bend fairly easily as long as the wall thickness isn't ridiculous. Is it a gradual curve or bent in one spot? Going for a high polished look or paint/powercoat it? Any pics?

Hey BADBK, it's a gradual curve no tight bends. I have several pics if i could figure out how to put them on here. I even suggested to my friend helping that it looks as if i could bend them right into the line but neither of us have any experience in that area. And Big Red I thought about doing that right after I posted which would not hurt!!
