Rodney, Jerry, we build a lot of handrails in both teak and no-maintenance hdpe along with sliding hatch tracks, etc. For the handrails, just measure your center to center distance (where they attach to the deck) and let me know how many loops you want. The "standard" handrails used by most production boat builders were around 10.5" centers X whatever number of loops they needed. The end pads are a little longer than the center pads. Also, we've got our new kick up rudder available as complete assemblies available for both M15 and M17.
