Tubing Size on Mako 20C Console Handrails?

[FredBart]

Could anyone tell me the Outside Diameter dimension of the aluminum tubing used on Mako center console hand grips? This is the tubing that surrounds the windshield. I believe that it is 1", 3/4" or 7/". I am thousands of miles from my boat and I need this dimension to order an antenna mount. My boat is an '86 20C, but I think that this diameter tubing was similar in all Makos at the time.

Thanks in advance.

I measured the old factory hand railing off my '73 22 and I got 7/8 (.875) inches in diameter. Most all of the standard factory hand railings on smaller older CC boats like Mako, Seacraft etc are 7/8 inch in dia. Also, I think that most all of these clamp on antenna mounts are designed so that they will fit both the 7/8 inch and the 1 inch diameters. Hope this helps-

Thanks for taking the time to measure. That's exactly what I needed to know.
