Replacement Forward Cross Beam

Hello everyone,

I have come across some pretty bad corrosion on the port side of my forward crossbeam. The corrosion has made a hole through to which I can see the bolts which attach the beam to the hull.

I'm thinking the best thing I can do would be to replace the Forward crossbeam and after reading other posts on here a repair job would not suffice.

Does anyone know where can get a replacement?

Kind Regards,

Arlen

Murrays has a used one listed for $200, which is a pretty reasonable price as long as its in decent shape.

Otherwise ebay and craigslist are probably your best bets or if you have a local fleet or dealer, try asking there.

Hello - I too have a broken fwd cross beam for a Hobie 18. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? I also need a new Jib if anyone knows where I can get one of those. Thanks!

I have a nice forward crossbeam, with all the fittings. End caps, mast support, dolphin striker, etc.

Located just north of Seattle, WA -98296

Greetings. I too am in need of a forward crossbar for a Hobie 18. Grateful for any leads. Murray's says out of stock. I'd welcome a used part if in good shape. Thanks in advance

PS. Already tried eBay, Facebook, Reddit
