Thread starter kfa Start date Apr 30, Joined Sep 17, Messages 6, Hi all. I've decided to install a grab bar in my 14' tinny so I can stand up and steer while using a tiller extension. I suppose I need a flange of some sort, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas? Fireman Rear Admiral. Joined Sep 17, Messages 4, They come in a narrower diameter than the standard 3" these are just over 1.
The blank poles come up to 48" in length. NYBo Admiral. Joined Oct 23, Messages 7, Joined Jul 15, Messages This is kinda the way trailer guide-ons are made, to help folks loading their boats at the ramp onto a trailer. I suggest the pvc for the main vertical part of the pipe, because a more solid pipe would be an impalement hazard, and when you impale yourself on it, we on the forums would of course mock you mercilessly, then morn your loss for a bit.
Instead of screwing the flange to the floor, maybe screw the flange to a chunk of wood, sized so that you can attach that piece of wood to your floor.
We don't have any pics of your situation, but you may be able to attach an angled rod holder to your gunwale area, but angled inward, and stick your broom handle into that. Or some variation on that. Maybe a clamp-on rod holder clamped to a bench, or console? I saw the galvanized flanges too. Do you think it I used a 1'-2'length of pipe and screwed it in to the flange it would would be rigid enough?
It only needs to be about waist high which is about 36". I plan on through bolting the flange to the floor with stainless steel hardware dipped in 3M , then painting the whole thing with some aerosol rustoleum white. I'll either slip some PVC over it as you described, or thread a galvanized "T" in the top end to keep the impaling to a minimum I saw a guy with a real nice turned wooden one, which got me thinking I could use a shovel handle, but I'm not sure how I could mount it to the floor, but it would be cheap, rot resistant, light weight and paintable.
Thanks again for all the cool ideas. Keep 'em coming. Re: Homemae Grab bar ideas Re: Homemae Grab bar ideas I have a couple of boat lifts that have galvanized square box rods bent at a 90 degree angle as a base for the guide-on pvc rods. The angle bends straight up, but only go up about 18" for the big lift, and only 12" for the little lift, and are then covered with 2" pvc for the next 8 feet as a guide on.
We may be over thinking this, but I think you should go with the galvanized flange. Look for a PVC pipe size that fits snugly over the galvanized pipe that goes into the flange. You don't want wiggly. With whatever "T" at the top, you're not worried with impaling yourself, but if the pipe is TOO rigid, it may put too much stress on the flange. So a bit of bend in the pipe is OK. I think you'd be surprised to see just how stiff a 36" length of 1.
So, best bet is to grab some chunks of pvc pipes to see what fits best over short lengths of galvanized pipes. Choose the mix that's the snuggest. At any rate, for a 3' length, any pvc diameter over 1" should be fine. At the Home Depot, just try to bend some, you'll see. I think that's more or less what I'm gonna do.
Thankfully, I'm only about lbs and the boat is just a little 14' tinny with a 20 hp Johnson, so I won't be breaking any speed records or putting any major strain on the post. I just need it help stabilize me a bit while underway. Thanks again for the ideas. I'll keep you posted on the results. Joined Jul 7, Messages Thanks jd. Just keep in mind the torque you will be putting on that flange. That's pretty significant. Just don't want to see you going into the drink!
Joined Oct 30, Messages 20, It will likely snap off, or bend. Perhaps, maaaaybe, if you could attach to the floor, then up and over to the gunnel. But I don't see that being very sturdy either. You really need 3 anchor points. How about the floor in front of the middle bench, the floor behind the middle bench, and the top of the gunnel.

Re: Homemae Grab bar ideas Re: Homemae Grab bar ideas I'm definitely attaching it to a plywood floor with an extra layer under the base at the attachment point. Maybe I can split the bottom and form an inverted "U", then I'd have 2 attachment points.

I'm just saying, might not go through you but a hard fall on it could definitley do some internal body damage. I've always been taught to avoid that kind of stuff.
Plus, we're talking fairly low speed, clear water cruising. Here's a clever idea I found on the internets. I'd steal his set up outright, but I don't have a vertical surface to attach the bar to, but it is clever and DIY. He's also a lot bigger boy than I am in a much skinnier boat. I can now hold a small cooler behind the seat, attach my umbrella holders to a much more secure base closer to the center line of the boat, and I now have a much needed junk tray and cup holder. Best of all it was DIY, cheap, fun to make and turned out way better than I thought it would.
One of these days I'll get a proper little fancy skiff with all the big money bells and whistles, but until then this will have to do. Joined Mar 1, Messages 1, At least until UV rays kill it How do you have that anchored to the boat? As much as I love the grab rail, the little junk tray is my favorite part, I think I won't have to keep digging in the dry bag every two seconds to grab the camera and stuff and I can run at full speed while standing up which will help my visibility a lot in the skinny water.
