C36 MkII, what size is the stern rail tubing?

Getting ready to put a motor bracket for the dinghy motor on the stern rail next to the swim ladder.  What size is the tubing?  Is it 1" tubing?  Or something else?  Thanks!

Agree with 1-inch.  Almost all chromed tubing on small boats is the same size, and it would look really strange to you if it was anything different.  BTW, this is also a common size for motorcycle and off-road vehicle tubing, so things like light or utility clamps marketed for those sports also fit your boat.  It's much cheaper to buy a ORV light clamp on Amazon, than a specialty marine something from West Marine, even if it's the exact same thing.

Great! I found a used Edson stern rail dinghy motor bracket for a couple hundred bucks. Thanks again.
