I have a 1980 Oday 28 with a bent stanchion that needs to be replaced. Unfortunately it is port side aft and the bolts are behind the cabinetry for the galley. Has anyone done a repair like that ?

Guessing

Hi Jon: I'm not too sure of the lay out on a O28, but if that particular stanchion is the one that I think it is, it can be gotten to through the lazarette on a O34. It's a reach, but it can be done. Hope this helps.

When you get it done...

Jon: When you get it done or find out how to do it I'd like to know too. I also have an O'day 28 and I think the stanchions need bedding. Good luck, Mike

cut

I have an O'Day 31. Don't know if its the same, but I had to cut out a small section in the top of the cabinet to get to the nuts for that stancion. I used a dremel tool with a cutting blade. Lots of dust but it worked and you can't see the cut out section because it is both below eye level at the back of the cabinet and behind the pots and dishes we keep in there. Hope that helps. Good luck
