Give me a source for the grommets and hardware for mounting the windshields on 1988 Super Sport 17 Limited.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Joanne

Boston Whaler sometimes used windshields and hardware made by TAYLOR-MADE SYSTEMS. Their products may have been used on a c.1988 17 SSL.

Visit this website and browse to see if anything useful is shown as available:

I was able to obtain exact replacement parts for two components that were part of the windshield and vent system on my 1990 boat from Taylor-Made.

The grommets are called "Well-Nuts". Neoprene Machine Screw Anchors. The size for the SuperSport Limited windshields are #10-32 X 1. Neoprene with brass 10/32 insert. Most good fastener supply places have them.
