C30 Bow and Stern Pulpit Mounts

[Dave Worfel]

I have a 1988 C30. Does anyone know how the bow and stern pulpits are mounted to the boat? I'm assuming they're through bolted but don't know if there are nuts on the back of the hardware and can't find an access to either pulpit from below deck. I need to re-bed both railings and don't want to start pulling bolts to find I can't re-attach them.

Dave,I had to fix my bow pulpit last year. The rails are mounted with nuts and bolts, and on my Catalina 30 '87, I had some access thru a access port in the anchor locker.I am not sure if all boats were fitted with this, but it requires a long reach and a lot of patience.
