[C320-list] Gate stanchion

[Bill Culbertson]

Steve,

Hopefully you'll never need another pulpit for awhile but for the benefit of others on the list I replaced my pulpit 2 years ago as well.  My boatyard arranged for Catalina to put it on the next truck of stuff to one of the area Catalina dealers.  The boatyard had someone drive to 50 miles to the dealer to fetch it but much cheaper than paying shipping as it turned out.

Got mine from Catalina (not Catalina Direct).  Make sure you order the
correct one.  They are specific for port and starboard.

My gate stanchion came in a few days.  However, the bow pulpit took
over one month, and the shipping was almost as much as the hardware
(the pulpit (and probably the gate stanchion) came from "Rail Makers",
Catalina's OEM stainless fabricator.)
