[C320-list] V Berth Lockers

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

I wonder if they were just very stingey with the beding material.  We just replaced our gate stacheon and I was amazed at how little there was to clean up before installing the new one. Would have made their clean up a non event as I don't think any would have been forced out from the joint when it was snuged up.

Catalina must have had a bad week back in 2000.   My hull no. 815 also 
lacked the caulking around the forward water tank fill.  As I recall, 
you can simply unscrew the  mounting plate from the deck and add caulk 
and re-set.
