go to lowe's get some 1" 1/4 or 1" 1/2 conduit tubing it comes in 10ft sections for less than 10 dollars. cut to size with a $5 hacksaw drill a few holes for i bolts, and strap down to boat with some ratchet straps with a 2x6 board with a hole dug into it.

rock solid bought supplies and built in less than 2 hours

(i put a couple of small screws into the base just to be safe)

I know this post is almost a year old......do you have some more pictures that are closeups of the top where the straps and eyebolts go and the base that you made? email them to:

I believe the previous guy used galvanized steel not conduit. It is in the same location as the conduit is. Conduit you can bend by hand....make yourself look like the HULK.

check www.youtube.com/bigpoppakdog for videos on mine. Looks identical to his. This will give you a better idea on what you need. Hope it helps.
