One of these broke off on my 1986 Chris Craft. It's a wire hanger inside the starboard side of the boat where the cables run? Not sure what it's called or where to find one. Any advice is appreciated.

Those style hooks are pretty widely avail, in different sizes. It is likely Amazon will have some.

Thanks for the replies, looking for OEM looking replacement, something that is metal and can be a "hook" like what is still in there.......

Why?

Chris Craft used the cheapest hangers they could source, and they changed sources often

Grab a metal coat hanger and make all you need. As mentioned, I prefer cable ties myself or mabey a combination of wire hooks and cable ties.

Thanks for the replies. Just trying to match the six others that run down the side of the boat. The aluminum strap had a hole and screwed in to the gelcoat. I just thought it would be a simple find, but I can go grab some aluminum strips at the hobby store and make some. I do use cable ties on all the new wiring that I have put into the boat post Chris Craft,,,,,,, and I am well aware of the cheap parts that they used through the years,,,,, just like most boat manufactures of the 80's.........
