1993 Malibu Echelon Swim Step

I have a 1993 Malibu Echelon. I have a swim step problem. There are 3 supports that support the step. I lost the middle one that bolts up into the boat. It is at the bottom of the lake. I need to buy a replacement, or make one, or reinforce my step. I know the boat is old and my options are slim. Would anybody have any ideas? Or the fastest easiest way to fix my problem. Thanks

Not sure if you can buy replacement supports or not. if you can, Paul at Bakes Marine would know. If you can't, I would pull the platform off your boat and take one of the remaining supports to a machine/fabrication shop in you area and I'm sure they could whip one up pretty quick. I just had all three of mine powdercoated black - that would be a great way to finish them up and keep them looking nice.

EDIT: I found a website that has brackets that look identical to mine...

not trying to thread-jack here....but can I buy a fiberglass platform for my boat somewhere? Dontknow.gif

i'm assuming I'll have to do some customizing to the brackets.

Bakes (and i'm sure others) sells a replacement for the late 80s/early 90s swim bracket. Most of the early ones were plastic. The replacement is aluminum. Not sure which style the Echelon had though. Although I can say that my old sunsetter came with 3 brackets originally... but I've only had the two outer ones since I've owned it.

Great thank you. I'll give Paul a call.
