Short handrail/grabrail stanchions might have backing plates or not. Deckmounted lifeline stanchions usually do, but even "quality" boatmakers sometimes cut corners and use plastic or washers as "backplates." I don't stand behind any advice I give. Make sure your deck is sound. Stay safe. Use your best judgement. See this article our old pal Norm wrote, http://www.goodoldboat.com/reader_se.../stanchion.php Jim - Everybody CYA. i'm not even sure i can GET to the backing plates...if there are any. the area is pretty inaccessible |
