Find old parts

[Kadaddy]

I have a 1975 Eldocraft bass boat. On my last trip to the lake this happened.


Here is the other side to show what the fitting looks like.

Is there any chance I can find a replacement part or do I need to manufacture something?

For a '75 boat, probably manufacture something.

you can check ebay, etc.

however you will most likely need to fire up the welder and fabricate something.

I would carefully check the integrity of the transom.
Looks like there may have been substantial movement at that junction.

Thanks for the replies. I figured I would be making something.
Transom is solid. I’m thinking that rubrail insert has shrunk up so much it pulled loose.

Thanks for the Taco Marine suggestion. I had looked there earlier. I had the original caps in mind and didn’t see anything at that time. Revisiting things I found something that I think will work.
