Restoring a 2006 232 Gulfstream and looking for a single Garelick 3 star knob. I have looked all over EBay Amazon and even emailed Garelick customer service. They did reply, but said the knob could not be purchased by itself. I found that a little odd as I have dealt with other companies that would send you a knob free of charge. They did tell the dimensions of the knob and said any style would work. I was hoping they would be a little more helpful. I want to keep the boat as original as possible, so I really would like to have a Garelick knob without the expense of purchasing a new step. Any advice will be appreciated and I am willing to pay if anybody has an extra one they would like to sell. Thank you in advance.

I would bet that Garelick did not make the knob but out sourced it. The important spec is the thread size and pitch and of course the length.
Look on Amazon for Wing knobs or plastic T stud knowb. I am not sure what material was used for the original threaded shaft. These are zink plated and may hold up ok.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. I will search around a little more and might give these a try. I can always change all of them to match if I need to
 
Yup, that's just going to be a plain old, screw handle/knob. There's absolutely nothing special/OEM about it. A good local (mom-n-pop) hardware store likely has them in stock. They're similiar to lawn mower handle knobs. It's "probably" 1/4-20 as that's the most common... but just take one of the knobs with you. Get either bronze/brass or SS stud.
