upon hauling out today in the high wind a base of a stanchion was broken in the process. This is for a 1984 Hunter 31. any ideas where to go for a part? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Here is what I would do....Take it to a welding shop and have them weld it back together with stainless steal welding rod. This will cost a hole lot less that getting that part expecially if you throw the welder guy a few beer! However, don't throw him too many beers! Maybe just 3 or 4. If throw him more than that, he may not do the best of work being all drunk and all! Your Pal, "The Skipper" not Gilligan! Eric Stanson From Ohio ....Hunter 27 Owner Also, Owner of...

Oh, also, FYI...One it is welded with Stainless Steal weld, you grid it smooth, then file it and sand it with wet sand paper...you will never see the break. Skipper from Ohio Eric Stanson

Check all of the web suppliers

Find one that matches the layout of the screw holes and choose the one that has the best price. I had to replace 2 of mine due to their being bent and cracked. Not a lot of money for the base.
