Convertable top support

[Perk]

I have a convertable top for my 1997 2100SR, but the legs for the support bar are too short. Can someone give me dimensions on the length of the support either from the connection of the secondary bar or the overall height, so I can get a new one made.

thanks

Which "leg" are you talking about here? On my 96 2100SR the leg is 2 pieces. The bottom portion is curved to avoid hitting the side glass and connect to the hull with a push pin. The top portion of it just slides into the upper support bar. That upper support bar is what holds the canvas up and goes from one side of the boat to the other.

if you just need the bottom leg, maybe you can find one at a Bayliner or Searay dealer. The old part # for that part is 60416-E and has been superceded to 1723125 (according to parts catalog and Bayliner 2002 cross reference book).

Also, maybe Leta's can help too as she bought all of the original canvas designs from Maxum so she may also have the support poles and dimensions too.

Unfortunately I am unable to measure mine until April. It is 2 hours away and locked up inside a winter storage facility (indoor storage).

I didn't know that there is a lower leg. That would be the length that I need.

Yeah, that is how mine works anyway and I assume yours is the same
I am unable to measure it until April, sorry about that.
I did find this 1 pic (and a bad pic at that) showing it attached to the boat.
If I remember correctly, it just is an open tube on the one end and the pole that runs through the convertible top has a reduced end that fits right into this open end.
