I'm looking for the bracket that attaches to the bottom of the galley table. It's a Recmar system; the table apparently attaches to horizontal leg of a L-shaped, 1" tubular support, which may be used in the galley or cockpit. The vertical leg of the support tubing fits into "receptacles" - one is situated to the port side of the sink, and the other is in the cockpit, attached to the transom. This is a factory item, installed on a 1985 O'Day 222. Thanks for any info and help.

Tks much for the advice. Will do and will let you know if I'm successful.
P.S. I had already begun to "engineer" a bracket in my head. If I have to go that route, it'll be an ugly mess...promise!

Thanks for the good advice, Brian. Spoke w/ Rudy - very helpful - and ordered a mainsail cover and C/B pennant. Although he couldn't provide the table bracket I need, he did offer some ideas, i.e. eye tape (or hanger tape - actually metal), and I've got several 1" pipe hangers that I'm going to attempt to adapt. Might not be pretty, but fairly sure it'll work. Another question, please (and I haven't checked the forum for answers yet): going to replace my porta-potti - the existing Sanipotti has "crapped-out"! There are mounting brackets already installed; the existing potti was not secured. I'm going to order a new replacement porta-porti, and am considering a Thetford model. Do you have any solid recommendations of what to purchase, and thereby shorten my learning curve? Thanks in advance, Mike P

I never used my portapotty. I think it's a Thetford. I bought Wag Bags instead. These include "poo powder" which is supposed to neutralize the, well, poo, and allow you to throw away in regular trash. I put it in the portapotty, and use the bag and powder. Ok, well, I don't, but one time the girlfriend's daughter HAD TO GO, maybe 10 or 15 minutes after we left the dock. Doh! Never could believe how much a kid can stink. :D

A lot of people have taken to getting a 5 gallon bucket. You can buy snap on lids that twist off. Since you are supposed to use the Wag Bag like three times, keeping the bag fastened but in a sealed-up bucket like that can really keep down the smell. Put the bucket outside in the cockpit for overnight.

I read about a backpacker using Wag Bags. He recommended these odor proof bags to keep the Wag Bag in, because (as I learned) the Wag Bag itself is not odor proof. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GHH5GK4?tag=0195-20

Here are Gamma Seals, twist off lids for 5 gallon buckets: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24282&catid=686&gclid=CNK49qrbhKwCFRJShwodwCUO-A

Reliance makes the Luggable Loo, and also a seat that snaps over the 5 gallon bucket. I suspect that the seat is not compatible with the Gamma Seal: https://www.relianceproducts.com/products/sanitation/107.html

This toilet bucket looks like it could be used with Wag Bags, or Reliance's own "Double Doodie" bag: https://www.relianceproducts.com/products/sanitation/92.html

All of this, because I really don't want to mess around with mixing up and filling up blue water, and then having to dump out a tank and clean it up.
