Hello,

I'm looking for an old style stanchion to buy, I think pre-1988. Anybody have one they want to sell me?

I have an 85 and got a replacement from Catalina Direct.
It was the same and the holes lined up.

I ordered one, but the hole pattern was different. From what I've read, Catalina changed the hole pattern at some point. To install the new style stanchion, it looks like I could still use two of the original holes, and but would have to fill the other two and drill two new ones.

I'm hoping to find an old one so I don't have to put new holes in my boat.

When you install it you need to fill in the holes and re-drill them anyway.
Take a nail and bend it over, insert it into your drill and dig out any rotted wood between the headliner and the deck then fill the hole with epoxy and fiber-glass threads, let it set then drill a new hole. You may be surprised how much epoxy flows in.
There are some posts about parting out old C-25's in the swap meet, search for "Parting Out".
Good luck.

My thoughts exactly John,

If you ahve to epoxy and re-drill, its no extra work at all to just goa ahead and make 2 new holes and epoxy all 4, then redrill only the ones you need.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Do you think I ought to fill and redrill holes for all of my stanchions and other deck hardware? I don't have any soft spots or water leaking into the cabin from under the deck hardware.

What kind of epoxy do you like? I've previously only used Marine-Tex.

My advice is don't drill holes in your deck. Is the hole patern the only difference? If so, buy a new piece of stainless and have a weld shop cut off the old base plate and have them weld on the new one. You can find the stainless at [url="http://www.onlinemetals.com/"]Online Metals[/url]. They will cut it to size for you. If you can't get there send me an email at catalina0029 at yahoo.com. I can fix it for you. What happened to the old stancion?
