    Chris;
    The parts man at Robert White called to say that they have three of
    the bases that fit your unit. They say that the base is about 2 – ½"
    in diameter, chrome plated and has two mounting holes. Sounds like
    the one you need. They want 65 dollars for each one. I asked them if
    they would drop the price if I bought all three and they said yes.
    He will call tomorrow with that number. What I am thinking is, I can
    use at least one for my spare taffrail, you need one and I think I
    know someone else that needs one. If the price is OK with everyone I
    will buy all three and we get a deal. The other size that I need,
    well I think that its time to stop by the shop and make one. Let me
    know what you think.
    All the best;
    Bob
