lehighalums 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 Hi All, We were thinking that since the swim platform is the main entrance/exit to the boat, perhaps it would be smart (and safer) to have a type of railing going across the part that doesn't contain the ladder. We were also thinking this might be a handy place to mount a grill. Has anyone else done anything like this? We've done a couple different internet searches, but it looks to us like maybe it is something that would have to be custom built. We would prefer a non-custom and hopefully less expensive option, if anyone knows of one. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rip5 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 Factory option on this brand boat, was $800. Works good, but cost prohibitive in my view. You can have a local fab shop make one for about $200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lehighalums 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 That's pretty much what I'm looking for. It appears my factory swim platform has 4 holes along the edge away from the swim ladder where the railing would probably mount. I'm in Denver, though, and apparently my closest dealer is in Salt Lake City (which is a ways away!), and I also don't really have much faith in finding a local fab shop that knows anything about boat railings. Anybody know how I can find out if the factory option swim platform railing is available from Monterey still? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The MOST 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 Hello Lehighalums, A swim platform railing was not offered as a factory option. I did "Google" it and there were many different styles to choose from! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GetAway 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2016 I have a West Marine BBQ and I mounted the pole holder in the swim step locker. I open the hatch and screw the pole into the base. The pole is between the steps when the steps are in the stored mode. Works for me. When we're done cooking I take the BBQ off of the pole and store it and remove the pole. Nothing to trip over. I don't have any holes for a rail and I wouldn't want a rail because I do a lot of fishing and crabbing and the rail would only get in the way. I guess you don't do much crabbing in Denver.
