Most Crestliners, other than a couple exceptions like the Jetstreak were delivered to the dealer without wiring, lights, deck hardware, etc, unless it was ordered specifically that way; so the dealers put on whatever brackets they had to clamp down wires they installed. The Voyager14 that Dad bought new in 1958 came with factory lights (that were ordered special), but no wiring to them. Some outboard motor manufacturers supplied brackets like that with the electric starting wiring harnesses too, and dealers used them sometimes for other electrical cables. What I'm getting at is that the part you want may not be a Crestliner part. You can probably find that part, or something very similar at a good, full service hardware store, although plastic ones are more common now.

Hi Scott,
I was perusing the Restoration Supply Company's catalog and saw some clamps that look like a close match to what you are looking for. If you can't find anything locally, this is a great resource. Here is a link to the PDF catalog - go to page 26 (as the pages are labled):

Good Luck!
