Does anyone know how to obtain a replacement cabin floor fitting for the cylinder table support post. It is the metal cup fitting screwed to the floor. The crew broke it falling over in heavy seas - it was the seas that were heavy!

Many thanks

I think it is on the list of 275 spare parts on the PSSA site but it is part CF-163 obtainable from Midland Chandlers in Nuneaton. Price in 3/2012 was £12.95 each, I bought two for the cockpit as they had corroded and were leaking into the aft berth!

Hope that helps.

Turns out the exact replacement cabin floor fitting for the 285 is a CF-155 from Midland Chandlers. It is the cheaper chrome plated casting rather than the larger and better quality Aluminium CF-163. Even then it was not exactly the same as the original, having a slightly different internal taper which required quite a lot of abrasion before allowing a reasonably tight fit for the chrome post. Midland Chandlers were very helpful.

Cheers
