Best place for second hand parts

[Rich]

Where does one go to get secondhand parts?I own a First29 and want a new RUDDER STOCK DRIVING SQUARE which the Beneteau parts system lists as a $320 part.Not really interested in a new one, so I'd be in the market for a used one.What are good places to look for something like this?

2nd hand parts

Rich I don't know of any outlet for 2nd hand parts. Unlike cars, there aren't to my knowledge, junk yards or used parts dealers where you can get such items. From my experince most old boats tend to remain at the marina where they were last moored. How you would find an old 29 that you could salvage parts from is anybody's guess. Good luck in your search.Mike

Not in the USVI

I have almost completely rebuilt my Idelle from local salvage yards. "New" toe rails, stanchions, bow and stern rails, elec. panels,........, but I am in south Florida. I can give you names if your interested. (eBay works too)
