Don't waste your time with Catalina Directs backing plates

I bought a bunch of these a year ago and finally got around to attempting to install them. The stanchions don't bolt into a flat part of the cabin roof. 2 screws are longer than the other 2 making this plate ineffective on our model of boat. After redrilling, they work great to back the 4 docking cleats though...

Hi Duane, I re-bedded my stanchions last season and just went to a bit larger backing washer. That's about all you can do with the C25.
I was re-tightening the lifelines when I realized that I had gone too far and produced a leak in the stanchion by the end of the coach and will have to re-bed again. A warning to those who like the look of taut lifelines, let em droop a little.

There is the disclaimer right under the picture:

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Note: Check your boat for suitability before ordering. In some cases a cosmetic flange in the deck liner which serves to hide the inside of the hull and deck joint prevents use of a backing plate. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
