Yes, most of the backseat armrest drink-cup holders were the inexpensive white plastic 3" size. Hard to push in cause of the vinyl overlapping down into the hole. Don't be afraid to open up the size of the hole to replace them with the next larger size powder-coated version, which were optional. There's plenty of room. If they are a bit loose, silicone can help. The passenger bolster armrest was the same size(3"), but were sometimes the larger coolie-cup size. Ed

Why not powdercoat them? Is this too expensive?

Thanks Ed

Gerard, the powdercoated cup holders were simply an option in the later years. Dan just could'nt bring himself to make them standard equipment for some reason. I bought the majority of the coated aluminum cup holders from Rex Marine. RexMar.com They are offered in 3 3/8" & 3 3/4" diameters. Where needed, we would 5200 a plastic 3/8" pipe thread x 3/8" male barb fitting into the existing drain hole in the bottom of the cup holder & push on a length of clear vinyl tubing for a drain. Anywhere the compartment below needed to stay dry. Ed

So what are the sizes to be ordered???? the smaller for the rear, and larger for passenger bolster??

Ed

Active...3 3/8" for both the backseat & the passenger bolster. That is, if your boat still has the plastic drink-cup holders now. You will have to open up the size of the holes a bit. Ed

Ed,
They have 2 options, Anodized or Powedercoated. The blues are different. Do you have any idea which would match the guage bezels and plate around the trim controls?
Thanks

Sorry. Here it is.

Hey Andrew. You can usually tell the difference between a powder-coated gauge bezel and an anodized gauge bezel by the glossiness of the finish. The glossier pieces are powder-coated, the duller finished pieces are anodized. If your bezels are powder-coated blue, simply order the powder-coated blue cup holders, theres only one blue that most everyones using. Even if the color is a hair off, it won't be by much & the gauges are far enough away, making it harder to notice a shade-off difference. If it turns out your gauge bezels are anodized, you still have to purchase the same blue powder-coated cup holders, as no one I know of has the aluminum cup-holders that are anodized. They have all gone to powder-coating. Hope this helps.
