[C320-list] Pushpit mounting

[Allan Field]

Tim - That precisely is why I went up the port side with my antenna wires!
I thought about using the nav light wires as a messenger but there were too
many turns plus working in that aft portside locker is even less fun than
cramming my frame into the portside locker.  Also the run to the nav station
where the XM is installed was so much shorter and easier. - Allan

   The pushpits are guite a problem. Port one isn't so bad because the
cockpit locker allows access to the nuts for the forward base. Starboard
forward base cannot be removed w/o major surgery to the boat. 
     I ran speaker wire to speakers mounted under the "lounge chairs" and
ended up pulling the aft srews of the two hole bases, pulling the pushpit as
far away from the boat as I could, and drilled thru the 'glass. There are
holes for navlight wires port side only so the starboard base had to be
drilled as well. Major job on a very hot weekend.
   
  good luck

  Does anyone know off-hand how the pushpits are mounted to the boat?

I want to pull one off to mount a GPS antenna and run the wires 
internally. There are just 7 screws, but what do they go into? If into 
tapped plates glassed to the hull - great! If into individual nuts, 
which then fall off and get lost between the hull and the liner - not great.

Thanks.

[By the bye, I finally have the new SS shaft installed. Solution was 
finally to just let the yard do it. Took them about 4 hours to lift the 
boat, drop the rudder, and install the shaft.]
