AR190 bow backrest

[Irial29]

Has anyone added a bow backrest to their AR190s (or other boats that didn't have them?
Where did you get the part?
How did you install?
Were you happy how it turned out?

I have not, but would be very interested if it existed that way. I sit up there all the time at anchor, and have resorted to using the throwable PFD as a backrest most times.

I am looking into adding the bow cushion as well. Keep us posted if you decide to and make sure to post a DIY

Looks like #32 in the factory diagram.

I can’t recall offhand but I want to say there were 2 bolts and clips that hold it on like the rest of the coping cushions.

That’s what I would assume. Have you done this as a retrofit?

My AR192 came with it since it’s part of the interior upgrade. All 192 and 195 boats have it. The 190 series come a little more bare.
