Author	Topic:   What pieces to chrome plate?
1boatguyxx	posted 02-11-2006 03:34 PM ET (US)         I just removed the railing bases of my 18' outrage to have them replated. What other pieces were originally plated?Rear hause pipe? Navigation lights? Mooring bit? Any thing I'm missing?

The Tees on the bow rail *might* be chrome plated brass as well as the stand-off fittings on the console grab rail. But they might not be too. Whaler eventually switched to polished stainless steel of these fittings in the later 1980s. I do not think there was a distinct date after which all fittings because stainless steel. You will have to examine each part to figure that out.
