Post Grab Bar Designs
Hey guys post up some grab bar designs. I am looking to build a new for my Uncle J. Has a Go Devil type set up now. Looking for something out of the way on side of boat. Would be nice if it had a place to mount my gps.

Don't have a pic right now but I welded a piece of square solid stock aluminum on the inside of my boat with 3/16" gussets and a piece of 2" square that slides over it, I cut several relief cuts bent and welded it back up. You can turn my grab bar in 4 different directions or take it completely off

Yeah. I figured that. I might try and make it so it passes through. Have to figure out something.

Put your pipe all the way in the corner and weld it top and bottom. I don't think it needs to go all the way down.

Just had this done last week. I know it's not ideal for a gps but it's out of the way and removable in case I hunt out of the boat

Not a great pic but shows the shape of the bar in the backward position. I'm on call and don't have my boat or truck at the moment to show the mount

I wanted my bar removable so I used 2 pin mount seat bases and a 2 wheel hand cart. Put 3/4 inch steel posts in the tubing of the cart and bolted them together.

USE the KISS design, cut that thing off and run the boat without one. That is what I decided to do this season and I found that grab bar to be a lot like training wheels, didn't really need it after I tried running without it.

Check state laws. Some state require a grab bar. Its a good way to get yourself a ticket. I mounted my 5 inch GPS screen on a small ram mount screwed right through the grab bar. I like how it rotates when I am fishing to look at the fish finder.
