The stanchions on my '78 C&C 34 are wobbly and some are bent.  They also
leak a bit.  The previous owner told me I should:

1. take the stanchions off and straighten the bent ones in a vice
2. clean stanchions and the holes in prep for re-bedding
3. re-bed with 3M 4200 but don't tighten fully
4. once the 4200 has cured, snug them up

Is this the way I should do it?

I'm thinking I should also look out for rot and learn how to solve that in
case I find it.

I have a feeling I should eventually re-bed all the deck hardware but one
thing at time :)

Thanks,
  Jeremy
