Bow handles mod for 2015 boats

[Thor]

Thanks Bennie. The amazon handles are nice, I ended ordering a set of 8" SS handles with studs off of eBay. $36 for the pair including shipping. Thanks for the idea!

@Thor - May I highly suggest watching your wiring, laying the handles out and using a pencil to mark their location, and then using pilot holes.

Just my experience bud.

Will do for sure. My grandfather taught me to measure once and cut twice....

Added a similar set today, purchased on Amazon. I chose the ones with a wider SS footprint thinking it might spread out the force as people enter via the front ladder.
$22 each.

Nice mod @rsg1963 - Did you happen to put some rather wide washers on the inside to assist with the tension spreading as well?

You're going to love those handles. I never realized just how handy they would be until we installed them. ENJOY!!

Thanks Bennie, I did add larger washers underneath as well, just to be safe....er.
You can grab these and move the boat quite a bit on the trailer and they don't move at all.
