Just checking with the collective wisdom of this forum before I do this.
The weld on the foward stancion of my stern pulpit broke off cleanly, right where it meets the deck plate. Does anyone see any problems with having it re-welded rather than buying a new pulpit?

I'm thinking it would be plenty strong if done correctly, but is it cost effective and are all the other weld points on the pulpit in good shape?

You should be able to reweld with little trouble. You described the weld breaking at the "toe" of the weld face. Being you'll be attaching back to a heaver base plate, this will help the welder with the repair. I would recommend finding someone who can TIG weld to made the repair. This will result in a clean weld and NO splatter in done on the boat.

...also, it should be somebody with experience welding stainless steel. Most boatyards have or know such a person.

Renzo, one of our CRCA club members had his welded last year for a very reasonable price. Check with J Pecha. The welder isn't too far from the marina. I am not sure anyone would would want to weld it mounted.

Fairwinds, Dave

Thanks for the input everyone. I have an experienced stainless steel welder picked out, and I plan on removing the pulpit to have it done. I will definitely have him check the other welds while he is at it.
