bow rail

It will to a point. The wall thickness usually dictates if it can bend, too thin and it will kink. I wouldn't try more than a 45* angle. As far as warping to the boat, two trees close together will do wonders.
 
Thanks Guys

Schmahlworld ......... great job ....... that looks like what I want to do ........ what did you use for caps and where did you get them?

Dreamer ......... yes bud ...... you've awaken ....... welcome aboard .......... thanks for the advise ......

I want to bend the rail to match the bends that are there now ....... just like in Schmahl's picture ...... gentle curves ..... nothing even close to 45 degrees ...... and capped just like his ........

Once I figure that out then I have to figure where to put a 3d battery and run the wires but I think that should be easy .........

Thanks
Rick
 
with a good hand bender and some patients you could bend anything 0.5 to 360* I'd worry about popping of the chrome plating.
 
I've got a hand bender but I still don't know what I'm doing ..... I need to find someone in the Baltimore area and pay them a couple of bucks .....
 
Well, describe what you want and I'll see if I can't help ya out. I bent tubing ranging from 1/2" - 6" for years. Know any electricians?
 
I was thinking that I would buy the tubing and the connectors to use the same mounts as the existing rail to duplicate the existing rail but without the front section.

To do this I need to duplicate the curvature of the existing rail. Everything would be exactly the same except the rail would end about an inch past the last mount on each side and capped.

To do this the bending would have to be done at the boat or I could take off the rail and the bending done somewhere else.

Thanks
