Springfield Mighty Grip Stern Handle, 6 Inch Grip, Aluminum, Part Number 1840054

The Springfield Mighty Grip Stern Handle (part number 1840054) is a diecast aluminum boat handle built to give boarders and crew a secure grip point at the stern or along the gunwale. It features a 6 inch grip section on an 8 inch long, 3 inch wide handle body, with a 7.5 inch projection distance off the mounting surface for a comfortable hand hold. The handle is finished in aluminum for corrosion resistance in the marine environment and is rated as weight bearing, making it suitable as a functional grab handle rather than a purely decorative fitting.

Installation is straightforward: the handle comes with pre-drilled holes and attaches using screws, so it can be mounted without additional fabrication. Its ambidextrous shape means it works equally well approached from either direction, and its low-profile modern styling keeps it from looking out of place on most boat hulls or transoms. Because it is designed for outdoor, marine use, the aluminum construction resists the effects of sun and saltwater exposure over time.
