Seeking help from a fellow 310 owner who has access to their boat. Would like to take advantage of current sale to order a large cockpit table; but need the diameter and Center to Center distance between the chrome tubing on the binnacle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know you have been waiting for an answer for a week or so. I will be going out to the boat next Sunday and will get you a measurement. Clarify that you want the diameter of the pipes that surround the binnacle as opposed to the diameter of the binnacle. Assuming that's correct, I'll get you the pipe diameter and the measurement C to C on that set of pipes. If my assumptions are not correct, post a reply. I'll also shoot you a picture of our table - it folds down the vertical against the front of the binnacle so is out of the way when sailing.

Thanks so much for your help. My wife and I would like to order the Snap It Cockpit table off this website. In order to do that, we need the measurements of the chrome u shaped pipe that protects the binnacle. We need the center to center measurement and also the diameter. Your timing is perfect because there's a 20% sale on until December 6th. Look forward to your reply. Love the spinnaker on the boat in our sign on pic ! Thanks again.

The Tubing on the inverted U is 1.25 inch diameter OD. The C-C measured 12.25 inches and the column for the steering gear is 4 inches OD where the mounting bracket for my table is attached. Here are the pictures of our table and how it is attached. I looked for a manufacturers name on it and found none. It was on the boat when we bought it. Assume it's aftermarket and was put on by one of the previous owners.

That looks like my B323 OEM table, except for that mount to the helm column.24 x 13.5 inches over-all. It's right here in my den, as I found a good price on a larger one.
