Does anyone know where I can buy one of these?

Hello

I also have been looking for the same holders.  Can't find where to purchase.  Have the 35 open and they need more drink holders.  Might just call Tiara this spring and see what they can do.

Kent,

This is what Tiara told me, "The cup holder was made by Total Plastics here in Michigan. They make a good product but have never been open to making one of any part. Apparently it takes too much time to set machines up to make it worthwhile. The holder is no longer available. I would look at a company called Teak Isle. They may make a holder that could be installed with a minimum of modification."

I also looked at Boat Outfitters. Please let me know if you find anything.

Check out SSI Plastics, they have a few options for drink holder inserts. [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

I have the same one on my 3700 Open at the helm, I don't care for it with the angle you have to put in a drink. I might see if one of the SSI's will fit.

If you don't like the stock tiara drink holders (pictured above) remove the insert that holds the drink, drill the bottom of the fiberglass insert and then insert a SS or plastic cup holder you purchase at Worst (I mean) West Marine and tada, works like a charm. No more tilting drink to insert into the holder. IMO, much better.

Ends up looking like this one [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

Thanks, nice choices

Let me know if you do, I would be interested in yours. What year is your 37. Just wonder for a color match?

It's a 1997, haven't gotten to that project yet!  But I agree with the above, the SSI would be better.  Hate having to tilt the drink to get it in the stock holder (1st world problems)...

TRIT21: When you drilled out the new holes was there anything of significance beneath? Just love the idea, just concerned I may "hit" something!

I followed trit21's advice and agree that I too found the current (OEM) style would not allow for much of anything in terms of a bevy holder. 

I took out the cup insert and cut out the holes for cup inserts making the "holder" more effective. I then added simple SS Cup inserts to the new fabricated holes. It's best to remove the entire unit (carefully) and confirm there are no wires or other hidden fun things behind the existing bevy holder. 

Once you've remove it, have at it...
