C22 split backstay
Not sure if the C25 one will work on the C22 but Catalina Direct has kits for sale. Go to www.catalinadirect.com and check it out. You can also make your own. First thing is to determine if your boat has the capability to accept another "chainplate" for the other leg of the backstay. On the port side if the transom, Catalina embedded a bronze strap into the top edge of the transom. Measure over where you would locate the port side chainplate and drill a 1/4" hole into the transom. If you get some bronze shavings, you will only have to drill it to the proper size and tap it for the bolt on the chainplate. If you dont have this strap in the transom, you will have to cut a hole on the inside of the transom to expose the area and put a nut and washer on the chainplate bolt. All the instructions come with the Catalina Direct kit. good luck Mike Bracket
