I moved mine on our 33-1 nine years ago and was very happy. That three inches makes a huge difference. The bases i used also angled the stanchions a little outboard which gives you a much more open feel swinging past the shrouds and moving around on the foredeck. Be aware the life lines will likely be too short mine were but I knew that going in and since it was time to upgrade them anyway it allowed me to relocate the stanchions to put the gates where I wanted them. I do have to be a little careful docking on fingers with vertical posts as it is possible to hook a stanchion on a post if wind and waves are alligned
John Fletcher CnC 33-1 Peregrine From: Barbara Hickson Fellers via CnC-List Sent: Monday, January 25, 2016 11:05 AM To: C&C List Cc: Barbara Hickson Fellers Subject: Stus-List Toerail mounted stanchion bases I'm going to paint and re-nonskid my deck when the weather stabilizes and was considering the value of moving the stanchions outboard to mount on the toerail. I was under the impression that the toerail mounted bases would be screwed into the rail using the same holes but a longer bolt. Not the case said Holland Marine when I was inquiring. You must drill new holes thru your rail to use the new bases. Is this right? Has anyone done this? My toerail holes are 3.94" on center. In addition to the cost($450 USD), this sounds like a ton of work to add a couple of inches to the side decks and MAYBE get a better sheet lead. Any thoughts or opinions appreciated. Barbara L.
