As I am not near my boat for a few weeks could someone send me the
outside diameter of the stainless railing used on the aft pulpit?
Thanks, Colin V-703

Mine is definitely one inch. However, when I ordered my pulpit and
specified one inch tubing, the supplier sent me one made of 7/8"
tubing because, they said, they had a Vega there that had 7/8" tubing
and assumed that I had made a mistake. Best to be certain.

When I had my railing repaired after hurricane, the welder used 1 in,
but the original was slightly smaller. I think it was a metric dim.
The 1 in. would not fit in the socket on the bow fitting. Had to weld a
short piece of the original metric on the end.

Colin,
I finally remembered to check today: both pulpit and pushpit on #1331
are 0.875" or 7/8". Surprise surprise! And I'm pretty sure they are
the originals, too.

That size is readily available, as I made my new dodger (spray hood)
frame from 7/8" SS.

If the rails are indeed 0.875" or 7/8", then to be more precise they are 22.2250mm.
25mm = 0.9843" 1" = 25.4000mm. Are any of these numbers standard European sizes? Although I live in Europe, I don't have a clue, however 1 inch is definetly not....Frank

According to the table at http://tinyurl.com/5sawh8 metric SS tubing
comes in 20, 22, and 25mm sizes. My bet would be the railings I
measured are 22mm as they measured just slightly below 7/8". All the
original bolts etc are metric, so it's fair to assume the tubing is,
too.
Just my thoughts ....

Just to add to the confusion :p I just got a barbeque, and as it was
missing a vital piece, I tried building my own mount solution using a
7/8" bracket, and it wouldn't fit on the rail. But the 1" bracket I
eventually bought for the barbeque fits perfectly, if not a wee, wee
bit loose. 1" is 25.4 mm, and I'd bet my railing is actually 25 mm
exactly.

THat's it - I am getting my super-duper digital calipers out, accurate to 0.0005 inches.
You people are driving me nuts with this railing talk!

I'll try to stick to straight pieces. Maybe take multiple measurments and average if it turns out to be a problem.
Last resort, I'll just make up the answer..
