Top 5 Stainless Steel Upgrades Every Boat Owner Should Consider

1. Radar Arches

Radar arches are one of the most popular stainless upgrades.

They provide a solid mounting point for:

• Radar systems

• Antennas and lights

• Speakers and accessories

They also add a sleek, modern profile to your boat, while doubling up as safety rails for crew moving around the deck.

2. A-Frames

An A-frame at the stern of your boat offers both strength and practicality.

It’s ideal for:

• Navigation lights

• Fishing gear or towing equipment

• Added protection for the stern

For RIBs, fishing boats, and workboats, A-frames are a must-have.

3. Handrails

Strong, polished handrails aren’t just about aesthetics - they’re critical for safety at sea.

Custom stainless steel handrails give you:

• Secure grip points around your vessel

• Long-lasting corrosion resistance

• A polished finish that matches the rest of your fittings

4. Rod Holders

For anglers, rod holders make life much easier.

Stainless steel holders are:

• Strong enough to handle serious fishing gear

• Resistant to corrosion from saltwater

• A practical addition that looks the part too

5. Custom Fabrications

Not every boat fits a “one size fits all” solution.

That’s where custom stainless fabrications come in.

From bespoke brackets to unique design requests, custom work ensures your fittings:

• Match your exact needs

• Fit perfectly to your boat

• Last longer than off-the-shelf options
