Hello! Mainship 40C new to me

[IdleHour]

Hi all—
Snapped up a Mainship 40DC w twin Perkins.
Anyone know where I can find swim platform brackets/stanchions?

Welcome aboard. Congrats on your new boat.

Welcome aboard TF from another happy MS owner.
There are lots of after market sources that might have what you need if you know dimensions. If not you might pose that question to other 40DC owners.

If you look in the Marlow-Mainship builders section there is a "MS Parts" sticky thread (remains up top). For other makes & models other than the late year 34T/ HT the parts are not searchable but follow the links and you cab scan through thumbnail pucs of parts and click on any that look similar.
Generally the pics contain source and part # info.
It's not the easiest way but does provide helpful info for many hard to find parts.

Thanks much!

If you need to replace a bracket you may be better off taking the old one to a machine shop for them to copy. Finding the original part from an older boat is tough.

That’s looking like the option. ??
