Hi Cary,

I have the same 6:1 motor mount on my '91. The tubing is actually 1/2" copper pipe on mine. The cam cleat is used to secure the engine in the up position. It looks like nylon or maybe starboard, although it is mounted on the port side. The image should be at the bottom of this post.

This one is for owners of the more vintage Rhodes 22. Mine is an 86.
This piece sits attached to the transum where the motor is raised and lowered.  Also attached to this piece is one of Stan's small camcletes.
This could be a custom made piece from GBs. I am sure it is no longer made because Stan moved on from this system.
Is there a name for this thing? It is used to keep the line for hauling the motor from rubbing the gelcoat. The bar broke off and wint into the drink.
If it IS a part it may not be made for boats. If it has a name maybe I can researsh it on line.  This may be something I have to build.
Any and all info. and or suggestions will be most helpful.

Thanks
