Bavaria 2000 model teak deck stanchions - source?
« on: August 09 2019, 01:14 »
This forum has been incredibly helpful at helping me track down the source of leaks into the cabin, which turned out to be stanchion bases and also the perished sealant in the hull/deck joint.  The boat is a 2000 model Bavaria 42 Cruiser with the teak deck/side strips.  One thing I am stuck on is sourcing replacement stanchion bases such as the attached.  SVB24 etc don't seem to stock them and I am wondering if anyone had found a source for these? You can see from the pic why these are needed! One alternative would be to straighten them or have them made up, I guess.  Thanks!  Jon

No need to replace them, every metal working company can straighten them for less money

Put a few nuts on the threaded part, clamp in a vise, stick the stanchion over the other end and pull until straight.

Thanks - I shall give them a go straightening them first.  Wanted to have a source in case one cracks on me but it sounds like there isn't a ready supplier if I need a spare...

Cheers

as it appears on the photo they can easily machined by by a metalworking company, if really necessary. Seems pretty simple to do on a lathe if you provide a sample  to them.

Thanks very much - and especially for the 'how to' from Yngmar.  Very helpful.  I'll give it a go next time I am back with the boat (which is sadly a few months from now).  Cheers - Jon

Spot on Joe - I've now matched up the measurements and this looks perfect.  They are now on order!  Much appreciated.  Jon
