I just bought a 1978 2+3 18' Dozi. I need to rechrome or replace the grab rail hardware on eithe gunwale. I think I can access the screws to the front and back pieces but see no way to access the middle piece. Is the middle piece nut secured to the underside and will it stay? Where can I find replacement hardware as orininal? Any advice will be appreciated

I helped a friend do that years back we heavily taped a box end wrench to a long rod held it in place got the nut off which disapeared in the bilge. Going back was actualy pretty easy, the night before we put a small dab of silicon on the nut and washer to hold them to our home made gizmo and tightened it up wiggled the wrench off. We felt that was was better than cutting access holes.
Do a search on reproduction hardware it is available.
