GS-201 Cup Holder

DavidPJ

Anyone know of a source for this cup holder on my 1999 GS-201? The trim on the cup holder is broken, but it works fine. It's a minor thing, but I would like to replace it if I can. Thanks.

I actually researched this a while back and came to the conclusion that this is a really nice product that is no longer made.  I just did some more searching in case I missed something and came up empty again.

Here's a link to the previous post on this:

Thanks cjjdeck. I guess we're going to have to be very careful with those cupholders. I have no idea how that little corner was broken, but it happened fairly recently. I was hoping to find the broken piece on the deck but no such luck.

There's lots of surface mount models of a similar design, but not the recessed design...... frustrating!  I agree, treat them gingerly!

Thanks again cjjdeck. I looked closely at some of other corners of the cup holder trim and they also have a hairline crack. So it looks like it's a common problem as the plastic becomes brittle over time. I'll leave it as is until it becomes much worse.

I have the folding cup holders on my boat as well (201). I don't care for them much because they are flimsy and people leave them open all the time. I'm considering installing something like this. It would require a much bigger cut out.

omar174, where did you find this cup holder?

Not sure if that exact cup holder will work, but it's an idea. I've never ordered from that site, but they seem to carry some cool stuff.

Thanks omar174. I'm not sure what I'll do if the cup holders totally break, but that website does have some pretty cool stuff.
I thought this stainless steel cup holder from Amazon looks pretty nice but it's a surface mount. Maybe there would be a way to adapt it and cover the existing opening.
