[C320-list] Introduction & Salon table question

[Joe Luciano]

I have the same table on my 2005 C-320 here in Anacortes, WA.  Mine has always been very tight.  I looked at your video and pictures.  There looks to be quite a bit of play and wear in the joint.  I would take the pedestal joint apart to see what’s happening in there and see if the Catalina Direct parts look like they would fit.  They look like the right pieces, just a later generation with a slightly different look.
