Default Best place to buy rigging supplys

Where is the best place to buy this stuff? I need bilge pumps, cushion clamps, was thinking of putting in pop up bow and rear nav light.

Blower hoses, tab and trim cables, stuff like that.

Don't want cheap junk but don't want to pay top dollar either.

Thanks.

I used to get a lot from boatfix.com but the website has been down for awhile so I think they closed up shop. Good luck finding cushion clamps reasonably priced.

Jamestown Distributors isn't too bad on prices, and they have a lot of quality stuff. Other than that try greatlakesskipper on ebay. http://stores.ebay.com/Great-Lakes-S...p2047675.l2563

Cool thanks,

I was thinking of putting a oil change system in so I can pull oil from the pan. Anybody have experience with those?

try wholesale marine, they carry a lot of good stuff. Ebay and amazon arent bad either once you know the part number. Often times I look through a parts finder, find what I need and then put the part number in ebay or amazon and find the same thing much cheaper.

Theres always BAM marine which I have used, but dont like to as they charges are rediculous for shipping, thing I paid 13 bucks once for a few screws and washers to get shipped. Also they are not customer service orientated, even states on their website that dont call asking what numbers or anything, pretty much need to know what you want before you go to them. But I do enjoy their free parts finder that I can use.
