Tapered Gate Stanchion w/ vent for C-42 & C-445

Tapered gate stanchion w/vent for the Catalina 42 & Catalina 445. Catalina started using this gate stanchion around 2001. Mounted flat on deck with 1/4" carraige bolts, 27" from deck to the top lifeline. Used on forward starboard side and on aft port side. The drawn base creates a much stronger connection to the tube as it allows for welds on both sides of the plate, at the top of the flage and the bottom of the tube. Base material is thicker 5/32" plate rather than the original 1/8".
