They look like the same as mine. Lee juniors I think. Check to see if there is a stamp in the mounting base plate.

Are you sure they're no lees? They look like older style Lee to me.

Those are Lee Sr.'s with their "holder" style mount. Leetackle.com in NC. Great customer service for parts.

I have Lee SENIORS on my boat and except for the folding arm (mine does not fold)the handle and other features look like mine. Lee is located about 20 miles from my house, and if you want me to visit them with the above pic or for any other reason I will be happy to do so. They were extremely cooperative when I visited them to ask some questions about my outriggers. At that time they told me they were no longer making parts for the Seniors, but do have some limited stock on hand.

Thank you for all your replies!! Frank I will keep that in mind, thank you!! I am having a hard time opening them, the clamp seems worn, and I am scared if I tighten it to hard, it will break when loosening. The clamp that holds them closed.

If you take your time & soak all the parts in White Vinegar everything will come apart easily. Then just apply a good anti-corrosion spray. Lee sells all the plastic bushings that you will also need. The bolts should be reinstalled with "Tef-gel."
