Bob, On my LF38 I replaced all the bases with the Seadog ones, using 5 in
square backing plates. 7 years later they are still solid. My problem is
keeping the port lights from leaking. I am on my second seet of windows.

on LF38There are a total of 6 lifeline stanchions that seem to have undersized
backing plates on my LF38. The backing plates in these locations are actually
two 1-inch by 2-inch aluminum plates. I have designed much heavier backing
plates and installed the first one. However, I've found out that the
undersized backing plates are only part of the wobble problem. The other part
of the problem is simply slop between the stanchion post and the hole in the
stanchion base.
I've thought about using a thickened epoxy on the inside of the stanchion base
and using an appropriate barrier on the stanchion post to prevent the epoxy
from adhering to the stainless steel stanchion post. It might also be possible
to use something like PTFE tape on the stanchion post to remove the slop.
My question is .. Has anyone on the list done this or something similar to get
rid of the wobble in the lifeline stanchions?
