FWIW my stanchions come off in the fall to put the winter cover on and when
I was putting them back on I noticed there were two holes for the set screw
and a big dollop of what seemed like the sealant they used to seal the hull
and deck, in the bases. I pulled out the sealant and the stanchions would
sink a little deeper in the base and the set screw now goes into the upper
hole. The stanchions are much more solid in the bases but oddly the life
lines are much tighter now. It's almost like they raised the stanchions a
centimeter or so to make the life lines fit better. Hmmm....

I followed Mike and Bill's advice.
85 cents for a 2 litre bottle of soda pop,
poured out the beverage,
cut the bottle into 1-7/8 x 3 inch strips (notched for the set screw),
sleeved the sockets (lubed with dish soap),
replaced the stanchions.
Eh voila!
Stanchions are tight and the admiral feels safe again.
Thanks!

The stanchions are loose in the worn sockets of the plastic stanchion
bases.
Before I order eight new ones, I'm wondering if anyone has tried filling
the socket with epoxy and either setting the stanchion in the wet epoxy,
or letting the epoxy set and re-drilling for the stanchion?
Thanks,
