[C320-list] Salon Table Pedestal

[Doug Treff]

Another option is this - found in the Catalina 30 support forum: 

The US supplier of the Zwaardavis parts is TACO Metals in Miami.
(http://www.tacometals.com/) 

Their customer service department will probably steer you to West Marine
Special Orders (888-888-3221), as TACO doesn't do retail sales. If you
contact West, specify the product as being a TACO Metals listing, as
that's how they have them cataloged. Not sure if West Marine can
cross-reference the Catalina specific part without dimensions or a part
number as they make a wide variety of parts for many yacht
manufacturers.

I ordered the silver version of the pedestal (Z3433) from Catalina Direct (which they were still selling although it isn't listed separately on the site any more). http://www.catalinadirect.com/index.cfm/product/2014/table-pedestal-wg [2] as-spring.cfm The pedestal is equivalent to the Forespar one ( http://www.forespar.com/products/boat-table-pedestal.shtml [3]) but considerably cheaper (presumably because it is made by the company Graeme mentions?) than I could find anywhere else (although it looks like the price is $100 more than a year ago). Perhaps Forespar would sell just the gas lift. The flange at the bottom was slightly smaller on the replacement than the original and they attached to the lift with screws, which my original didn't have, so that might be why they only sell it as a complete unit. The good news is that now I don't spill my coffee on a wobbly table! It was a relatively expens

replacement but I'm glad I did it.

While it answered my concern about why I couldn't adjust it's height, it also presented me with an expensive (relatively) problem. Catalina Direct says the only way they know how to order it is 'complete' but I really don't need the upper and lower flanges. Mine are perfect and the are HALF the cost of the complete unit. Interestingly enough, they do allow you to order only the flanges. They tell me that they order it so I'm wondering if any of you might know WHERE it is ordered from. It's made to orde
