Mark,
The socket for the table is a standard RV type.  Here is but one example. - rob

Peter,

You are correct. To steer I had to stand on the cockpit seats either beside
or behind the wheel. I'm looking forward to having a tiller once again. Now
I just have to patch the big hole in the cockpit sole. By the way, anyone
have a source for the socket that mounts in the cockpit (and cabin) sole to
support the table?

Also, I've now uncovered what was a significant source of the rainwater in
the bilge: the wheel pedestal. While it may have been sealed to the cockpit
sole at one time, it has clearly been leaking for many years. Oh, and I
just want to say that reaching under the cockpit to remove the bolts for
the pedestal was not fun. At all.

Thanks,
Mark
