Hello, does anyone have experience with repairing stanchions on Sunrise 34 (1986)?
Our boat was damaged by Sandy. 4 out of 8 stanchions were broken off (bolts snapped). 3 stanchions are bent and one completely broke. As I'm checking now how the bases were attached to the deck and I see that the nuts are glassed over under the deck and only two inside nuts are visible. It looks like two outside nuts that hold stanchion over the toe rail are somewhere in the deck to hull joint.
I found a place where they can fix SS stanchions and now I'm looking for information how the stanchion bases are attached in order to determine the best way to fix (re-attach) the bases. I don't want to do unnecessary damage to the deck and hull trying to cut out the outside nuts.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
