Would anyone know where the "SLING" plastic tags on the gunnel could be
purchased? All the ones i've seen are smaller than the ones on my B26.
Thanks.

Lewis Marine shows them in the catalog...I'd say they have them for sure,,but as the end of season approaches their stock dwindles.
If they won't sell outright, I can order and have drop shipped.

I had mine made up at a local engraver for about a buck a piece. Black on white and white on black.

Contacted that site having them make 1" x 3-1/2" per original then I can
drill the holes to match the holes on the gunnals.
The Lewis Identi-Plates are 1/2" x 1-1/2", But thanks Sim for the offer.
I live in the boonies and on an island to boot, lots of loco's but no one local.
Thanks guys for the response.

I guess I should add that I recieved the tags very quickly and they real
did a nice job. I intend to use them again when I tackle a few things on the bridge.
Thanks CaptPatrick for the tip.

What do you attach Slings to on the Bridge?

Hmmmmmmm,
I will be redoing the bridge panel, gauges, switches & switch
identifiers. I am intending to use that source again to make the identifing plates
(tags) below the before named switches to identify said switches.
A switch that preforms the function of "Sling" or "Slinging" the boat is not on my panel.
Therefore that identifing feature will not be necessary.
