Attwood 2061-5 Flexible Grab Handle, 12.5 Inch Boat Handrail

The Attwood 2061-5 Flexible Grab Handle is a semi-rigid boat handle designed to give boaters a secure grip point on swim platforms, in the cockpit, or along a companionway. Unlike a fixed metal handrail, this handle is made from polypropylene with a semi-rigid core, allowing it to flex slightly and conform to irregular surfaces and angled mounting locations where a rigid handrail would not sit flush. The flexible design helps it hold up to repeated hand pressure and outdoor marine exposure without cracking.

Installation is straightforward: the handle has 4 mounting holes sized for #12 fasteners, so it can be through-bolted or screwed to a flat or curved surface using common marine hardware. At 12.5 inches long and 3.25 inches wide, it is sized to give a full hand grip while remaining compact enough for tight mounting spots like companionway steps, swim platform edges, or storage compartment lids. It mounts to essentially any boat deck, hull, or cockpit surface, making it a versatile handhold wherever extra stability is needed while boarding, climbing, or moving around the boat.
