[C320-list] Entry Stantion Replacement

[Warren Updike]

I had some damage as a result of a tow that broke one of the studs that
fasten the double stanchion to the deck. These studs are part of the
stanchion and are bolted from inside. Each stud needs to be properly bedded
in the process.  My advice: get a yard to do this. I did. Access may be very
difficult as space is quite limited. You may need a rather good set of tools
to get at the stud from inside as well as a second pair of hands.

I just purchased a 1995 320 Hull #270 and need to replace the  
starboard entry stantion.  I am ordering a new one from
Catalina.  As all of you probably already know this is a unique double  
base stantion.  Does anyone any installation recommendations
as I am new to this type of repair.  Also, this has two screws in the  
base and I can't tell if their is a pin that goes into the deck or if  
that was the part
that was broken off.

Thanks in advance,

Max
