Bill we replaced our Starboard side gate late this summer.  All the bolts
on
hull 671 are accessible from just above the hanging locker.  Had to remove
the decorative cover trim to gain access.  It is not easy to access but
with
patience it is doable.  One of those standard boat repairs where you have
to
use the fingers on the tips of your fingers while trying to put the
washer,
lock nut and nut on all with two fingers.  I used a little of the bedding
goo to help hold everything in place before I got the nuts started.
I did order the replacement from Catalina; I think it was a little over a
$100 bucks.

Phil,
Thanks....

I just bent the gate and need to replace it. If the bolts are imbedded in
the hull, can I simply back them out, replace the gate and screw them back

in? Will the bolts remain in place?

I don't have an issue with the hull, just some bent tubing. And, where did

you find the replacement stanchions?

Thanks,  Jim
