I bought them from Eddie Marine, Inc. They are the medium sized cups and they do fit perfectly. The neoprene pads for the bottom of the cup holders I purchased from Dana Marine.

Oh man, that sucks! I don't think there are any grab handles out there smaller than 6". Do you really want to drill holes in your new boat???

I'd probably send them back and live with the white plastic ones unless you have a better alternative. Let me know.

I already drilled holes for the transom trim switches...but, I can't be sure that the old holes for the handles would be 100% covered...so yes, i will return them... BUT, I am still on the Search!!!!

I have thought about this and have a solution. Make a base for handle to mount to and have the base mount to the 5.5" hole alignment. Just a suggestion. I'll have my bimini top mounts back from the machine shop this week that I started a year ago to make. I didn't like the ones from formula, so I had some flush mount ones modified for the curvature of the windshield. I think they will look very sleek when finished, however it has only taken me 4 different machine shops and 1 year to complete.

Can you tell me on my Bravo 1X which way the spacers should be? I bought a 336 with 525's and when I hit the 80 MPH mark the boat did roll a little. Are Bravo 1X's the same as Bravo 1?

You shoul dhave XR's with the 525's, out little 377 have Bravo X's. Look at the link to the diagram and it will show you where the spacers are and if they should be moved. let us know if you have any more questions on it. But it is very easy to check the spacers...

I am anxious to see what you did for the bimini mount...
