STANCHIONS
OLD ALUMINIUM STANCHION BASES ROTTED OUT
I checked the stanchion bases in 2011 and found that several had rotted away.
Stainless steel and aluminium do not go well together.
I bought a complete set of new bases directly from Fountaine Pajot and replaced the lot.
The base of the stainless steel stanchion was coated with Tef Gel corrosion barrier (every boat should have some) to separate the stainless steel from the aluminium.
