Sounds like a deck leak somewhere.... You need to add your year, model (MK I or II) and where you sail to your signature block. It helps us help you better.

The contributing factor is that those 2 stanchions are at the widest portion of the hull and "helpers" on the dock tend to fend off by pushing on those stanchions!!!
Just contact Garhauer and get two backing plates and as mentioned bed them in with butyl rubber!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I made my own backing plates out of aluminum bar stock. The key is to spread the load underneath the deck.... My guess is that the Garhauer plates would do that even better than my homemade ones. Probably money well spent.

I talked to the Japsco reps and they agree!!
We put all used toilet tissue/paper in a zip lock bag and dispose of it with the garbage!!

I get the science, but I would never get any guests on board if I asked them to pack in and pack out toilet paper!

Quote from: Analgesic on March 03, 2024, 07:44:58 AMWe took a full month off last summer for the first time as I'm nearing retirement and had one of our best cruises, Boston Harbor area all the way to Brooklyn, up the Hudson to West Point area and back. This summer with a month off again, looking to head down east Maine possibly to the Canadian border. Added a second 110 W solar panel to the bimini, in the process of replacing the engine mounts to the Vetus K75s to hopefully reduce the noise level motoring, replaced the whole propane set up and sanded and varnished the cabin sole. Hoping for the best summer yet!
