[C320-list] Broken Stanchion

[Robert E. Sloat]

Sorry I didn't read all the way down to the end of your note.  My tool box 
also has crowfoot wrenches which are like open ended wrenches which attach 
to a socket wrench or extension.  They look like what you could use.   I 
will look at my hull to see if any liner needs to be cut away to loosen the 
stanchion.
