I have a question concerning the cockpit. I noticed on the deck pretty much dead center a circular plastic piece approx. 6 to 7 inches in diameter. What is it used for? a table perhaps? Any thoughts from my fellow Catalina owners. Thanks a Catalina newbie...

Hi Joe,

Does the plastic piece look like it can be removed (i.e. unscrewed, or something similar)? Is it perfectly round? Is there any chance you could post a photo?

It might be for a cockpit table, as you suggested, but it's hard to say without seeing what it looks like. It also sounds like it is located where you'd mount the pedestal for a steering system. Has your boat ever had wheel steering?

A photo would be a big help ... let me know if you need any photo-posting tips.

Thanks Buzz for the reply, the piece in question is perfectly round but I'm unsure if it unbolts or not. I will take a pic this weekend and post. Again thanks for your help.

One thing for sure, it is not stock.

Sounds like an inspection port of some kind...

If I didn't know better, I'd say it's an umbrella stand. I seriously doubt that though.

My guess is a mount for a cockpit table... how big is the inner recess?... looks about right for say... 2-1/2" tubing?

I believe this is a standard foot fitting for a tube base to support a table, it may be in your West catalog,. ron srsk Orion SW FL
