Some are flexible base, some have a hard plastic ring to secure the boot. They're also available thru Jamestown Dist., iBoat.com, Wholesale Marine, etc..

Generally they are 2 different things - a hard base and a flexible boot. Get them both the same size, holes line up. Guess I don't need one anyways, made sense to me to run these lines on the port side, but everything in the instructions says starboard side, and they even give you a pic so you don't get confused! The instructions aren't bad, but I've seen better. Frank

The better quality ones (like the one Brian got for you from JD) come with the ring, the cheaper ones (like I bought without knowing about this) don't!  |

Yup, you're right Frank, my bad. Good to know, now I can order the ring(s) I need.

The boot and ring part #s do not come up in NAPA's computer system, which makes it very hard for them to order. I used to work for NAPA, and asked the manager where I used to work today about it. Generally, he knows of what he speaks!

Inflation has taken it's toll, the rings are $2.48 each, the boots are now $8.56 each. Still a good deal, IMHO. I'm just throwing that info out there for anybody who wants it, not trying to influence where you buy your stuff. (Jamestown is a sponsor/advertiser here, so I try to do business with those who support this great site.) Definitely spring the extra change for the rings, much sturdier with them holding the boots down.
